Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, an aperture of f/11 provided a deep depth of field, while the shutter speed of 1.3 s captured the ambient glow of the fairy lights and city lights. An ISO of 1600 ensured that the scene was sufficiently exposed despite the low light conditions.
- Use a wide-angle lens like 12 mm to capture both the fairy lights in the foreground and their reflections in the lake effectively.
- Choose a closed aperture like f/11 to make the points of light appear more defined and to achieve a deep depth of field.
- Pay attention to camera stability during the longer shutter speed to avoid motion blur.
