Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the small aperture of f/20 creates delicate star effects on the individual diodes, while the ISO 1000 setting with a shutter speed of 1/4 s allows enough brightness to capture the fairy lights in the dark tree.
- Use a small aperture to create a starburst effect on point light sources like fairy lights.
- Select a longer shutter speed to capture enough light in dark environments.
- Adjust your ISO sensitivity carefully to balance exposure requirements with potential image noise.
