Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the 2-second shutter speed creates intentional motion blur of pedestrians, while the f/13 aperture at 17 mm focal length achieves deep focus and renders light sources as starbursts.
- Select a longer shutter speed to capture the movement of people in front of a static subject.
- Use a narrow aperture like f/13 to turn point light sources into starbursts.
- Use a wide 17 mm focal length to capture the scene extensively.
- Adjust the ISO to 1000 to ensure sufficient exposure in low ambient light.
