Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the 8-second shutter speed ensures sufficient exposure of the garland and the Chapel Bridge, while an aperture of f/16 provides high depth of field across the entire frame. The ISO 1000 setting helps capture enough light without the need for an excessively long exposure time.
- Use a wide-angle lens, such as 12 mm, for night shots to capture the entire scene effectively.
- Choose a small aperture like f/16 to create a subtle starburst effect from point light sources.
- Position a decorative element like a string of lights in the foreground to provide depth and create a frame for the Chapel Bridge in the background.
