Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, the small aperture of f/18 combined with a longer shutter speed of 5 seconds creates the distinct star effect around the light sources. The ISO of 400 keeps the image noise within a moderate range for this night shot.
- Choose a small aperture like f/18 to transform bright light sources into star-shaped lights.
- Use a longer shutter speed to capture enough light for the night scene.
- Pay attention to a balanced composition by deliberately incorporating prominent elements like the market stall into the frame.
