Photography tips
How this image was taken
To capture both the light installation and the surrounding facades sharply at night, an aperture of f/11 was used to ensure a deep depth of field. With an ISO of 1000, the shutter speed of 1/2 s allows enough light to hit the sensor to make the architectural details visible despite the darkness.
- Use a small aperture like f/11 to render the light source as a distinct star effect.
- Carefully select your shutter speed to balance the exposure of the facades with the brightness of the installation.
- Experiment with your ISO setting to capture sufficient detail in the dark areas of the image under low-light conditions.
