Photography tips

How this image was taken

To capture this nocturnal scene, an aperture of f/4 was used to gather sufficient light, while ISO 2000 ensures the image is exposed at a shutter speed of 1/50 s despite the dark surroundings. The 45 mm focal length allows for a natural perspective of the event.

  • Choose a wide aperture to make the most of the available light from the fairy lights.
  • Adjust your ISO settings to suit the lighting conditions, ensuring a fast enough shutter speed for moving subjects.
  • Pay attention to the composition by positioning the performers against the festive background to emphasize the Christmas atmosphere.
