Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this night shot, the long exposure time of 4 seconds allows enough light for the festive illumination to be captured, while the aperture of f/10 ensures good depth of field. The ISO of 1000 enables a proper exposure under these lighting conditions.
- Use a long shutter speed to capture the light of the lamps and their reflections on the water surface.
- Choose a medium aperture like f/10 to achieve high image quality of the lights and architecture.
- Adjust the ISO setting according to the available light to balance noise and exposure time.
