Photography tips
How this image was taken
To freeze the fast movement of the figure skater in these lighting conditions, a shutter speed of 1/160 s was used, while the f/4 aperture provides sufficient light and the ISO 3200 setting ensures the image is correctly exposed despite the dark environment.
- Choose a fast shutter speed to capture movement without blur.
- Use a wide aperture to maintain enough brightness in challenging lighting situations.
- Increase the ISO value to allow for a short exposure time even in evening light conditions.
