Photography tips
How this image was taken
To capture the light trails of vehicles at night, a shutter speed of 2.5 seconds was used. The aperture of f/11 ensures a deep depth of field, while the ISO of 1600 provides the necessary light sensitivity for the dark scene.
- Use a longer shutter speed to record the movement of vehicles as continuous light trails.
- Choose a closed aperture like f/11 to ensure sharp details of the lights and the background.
- Use a focal length of 22 mm to capture the area including the Seebrücke and the water tower.
