Photography tips
How this image was taken
This night shot utilizes a shutter speed of 25 s to capture sufficient light despite the low ISO 200, while the aperture of f/18 provides extended depth of field. The 15 mm focal length ensures a wide field of view of the cityscape.
- Use a wide-angle lens to incorporate both the architectural surroundings and the striking foreground elements.
- Experiment with a small aperture to emphasize light sources and achieve deep focus throughout the scene.
- Choose a foreground subject like the iron railing to create natural framing and added depth in your composition.
