Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, the f/9 aperture ensures high depth of field, while the one-second shutter speed captures sufficient light for the night scene and the ISO 1000 keeps noise moderate. The 12 mm wide-angle lens allows you to capture the entire facade along with the reflection in the foreground.
- Use the foreground actively to capture the reflection of the lights and add depth to the image.
- Choose a wide-angle lens to capture the dimensions of the KKL on a large scale.
- Pay attention to a stable position during night photography, as the longer shutter speed makes any movement immediately visible.
