Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot at 24 mm focal length combines an aperture of f/9 for deep focus with a shutter speed of 4 s to capture the ambient light at dusk and emphasize the reflections on the water. The ISO 200 setting ensures a clean, low-noise result.
- Use a longer shutter speed to capture the lights and render their reflections smoothly on the water.
- Select a moderate aperture like f/9 to ensure both the Ferris wheel and the distant mountain remain sharp.
- When using a wide-angle lens, pay close attention to aligning the horizon perfectly for a balanced composition.
