Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night scene, the long exposure of 25 seconds and the small aperture of f/22 allow for a detailed capture in low light and create a distinct star effect around the light sources.
- Choose a small aperture such as f/22 to render point light sources as stars.
- Use a long exposure time to sufficiently illuminate the darker areas of the scene.
- Keep the ISO value low at 200 to minimise image noise during long exposures.
