Photography tips
How this image was taken
This night shot uses a shutter speed of 1.6 s to capture enough light for the nocturnal scene, despite the f/4 aperture and ISO 1000 setting. The 35 mm focal length provides a natural perspective of the water tower.
- Use a long shutter speed to capture the atmosphere at night.
- Incorporate a foreground element, such as hanging Christmas lights, to add depth to your composition.
- Choose a moderate aperture to balance light intake and depth of field.
