Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, the aperture of f/10 and the shutter speed of 1.3 seconds provide sufficient depth of field, while the ISO 1000 setting ensures the necessary light sensitivity for this night scene.
- Use a small aperture to capture the light of the stars as distinct, fine rays.
- Select a longer shutter speed to create a soft, flowing motion in the water stream.
- Choose a wide-angle lens to capture both the surrounding environment and the reflections in the water.
