Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the shutter speed of 8 seconds and a closed aperture of f/20 allow for a deep depth of field, while the ISO 400 setting balances light sensitivity.
- Use a small aperture like f/20 to create a starburst effect on point light sources.
- Employ a long shutter speed to render the lights reflecting on the water surface smoothly.
- Pay attention to precise alignment when using an 18 mm focal length to avoid vertical distortion of the architecture.
