Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, the 2-second shutter speed and f/13 aperture allow for a precise rendering of the Christmas light sources and their reflections on the water surface, while the ISO 1000 provides the necessary sensitivity for the night scene.
- Use a long shutter speed to capture the light reflections in the water in a soft and flowing manner.
- Select a high aperture value like f/13 to achieve deep depth of field from the foreground to the background.
- Ensure a steady camera position when shooting at night with ISO 1000 to maintain a sharp image despite the chosen shutter speed.
