Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot was captured using a shutter speed of 2 seconds and an aperture of f/8. The long exposure allows for capturing details despite the low light conditions in the evening, while the f/8 aperture ensures a good depth of field.
- Use a long shutter speed to capture the light reflections on the water in low light conditions.
- Select a medium aperture like f/8 to keep both foreground elements and the background in focus.
- Use a wide-angle lens to include both the expanse of the river and the promenade in a single frame.
