Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, an aperture of f/18 and a shutter speed of 13 s were selected. The closed aperture ensures a high depth of field and creates the starburst effect on the light sources, while the long shutter speed captures the reflections of the lights on the calm water.
- Use a closed aperture if you want to capture point light sources as stars.
- Choose a longer shutter speed to smooth out motion in the water and capture the night atmosphere.
- Pay attention to an ISO value that minimizes image noise when shooting at night.
