Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this night shot, the narrow aperture of f/20 and the exposure time of 1.3 seconds create a starburst effect on the light sources, while the ISO 1000 setting provides the necessary sensitivity for the dark environment.
- Use a small aperture like f/20 to purposefully create starburst effects around point light sources.
- Select a longer shutter speed to capture enough light for the details on the cobblestone pavement.
- Pay attention to central alignment at a focal length of 21 mm to emphasize the symmetry of the street.
