Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the shutter speed of 6 s combined with the small aperture f/22 ensures a precise exposure and a significant depth of field throughout the frame. The ISO value of 800 allows for capturing the scene without requiring extremely long exposure times.
- Use an aperture of f/22 to achieve great depth of field from the foreground to the distant subject.
- Choose a longer shutter speed to ensure sufficient light is captured in this night setting.
- Pay attention to the perspective through the arches to frame the illuminated subject and add depth to your composition.
