Photography tips
How this image was taken
The long exposure time of 20 seconds captures the light reflections of the Christmas lighting optimally, while the closed aperture of f/20 creates clear star effects around the light sources.
- Use a small aperture like f/20 to make the point-like light sources of the Christmas lighting appear as stars.
- Choose a sufficiently long exposure time to render the movement of the water smooth and soft.
- Choose a low ISO sensitivity like ISO 400 to keep image noise low during this night shot.
