Light installations

The illuminated Wasserturm of the Chapel Bridge in Lucerne at night

Key tips

  1. When photographing light installations at night, choose a shutter speed that is fast enough to keep the details of the projections sharp.
  2. Pay attention to the balance between shutter speed and ISO value when shooting light installations to keep image noise low.
  3. Choose a shutter speed of around one second to capture the ambient light of the light installations.
