Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot in fading light, a shutter speed of 2 seconds was chosen to properly expose the Ferris wheel and capture the reflections in the water, while the f/5 aperture and ISO 200 ensure balanced image quality.
- Use a longer shutter speed to accentuate the lights of the attractions and their reflections in the water.
- Select a low ISO setting to keep image noise as low as possible when capturing this evening scene.
- Choose a wide to medium aperture to allow enough light onto the sensor despite the dusk conditions.
