Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, a 2-second shutter speed creates a motion blur effect on the rotating merry-go-round. The aperture of f/11 provides a sufficient depth of field, while the ISO 1000 ensures enough sensitivity for the night lighting.
- Use a longer shutter speed to capture the rotation of the merry-go-round as a light trail.
- Select a small aperture like f/11 to achieve a good depth of field across the scene.
- Set your ISO to around 1000 when shooting at night to make the most of the available light.
