Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the shutter speed of one second allows for sufficient light intake, while the f/10 aperture enables an even depiction of the facade. The ISO setting of 1000 compensates for the low ambient light to achieve correct exposure.
- Use a longer shutter speed to capture the ambient light at night.
- Select a mid-range aperture like f/10 to achieve good depth of field for the building.
- Adjust the ISO value to obtain the necessary light sensitivity for the sensor in dim conditions.
- Use a short focal length to capture the entire facade within the frame.
