Photography tips
How this image was taken
To capture the string lights and the light trails of vehicles at night, a shutter speed of 1/1 second was used. The aperture of f/9 ensures a deep depth of field, while the ISO 1000 setting provides the necessary light sensitivity for the dark environment.
- Use a shutter speed of about one second to capture vehicle movement as blurred light trails.
- Select an aperture around f/9 to render the string lights precisely and achieve consistent sharpness across the frame.
- Use a wide-angle lens at 12 mm focal length to encompass the entire canopy of lights above the road.
