Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the shutter speed of 1/1 s allows sufficient light to reach the sensor, while the aperture of f/8 ensures a deep depth of field. The 22 mm focal length enables you to capture both the round porthole and the comet in the foreground harmoniously.
- Use intentional framing by utilizing architectural elements like portholes to guide the viewer's gaze toward the main subject.
- Focus your composition on balancing the foreground and background so that both layers maintain sharpness through your chosen settings.
- Experiment with the shutter speed to correctly expose the city lights and festive decorations without losing detail in the bright areas.
