Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this night shot, the shutter speed of 1.6 s ensures a balanced exposure of the surroundings, while the aperture f/13 provides a deep depth of field. The ISO 1000 allows you to capture details in the darker areas of the historical buildings despite low light.
- Use a small aperture setting to achieve high depth of field, ensuring both the chestnut stall in the foreground and the bridge in the background are sharp.
- Adjust the shutter speed to find the right balance between the bright decorative lights and the night atmosphere.
- Focus on the composition by positioning the stall lights as a clear anchor point in your frame.
