Photography tips

Long exposure

Illuminated fairground ride at night at the Lucerne Autumn Fair

Key tips

  1. Use a small aperture to limit the brightness of the light sources during long exposure.
  2. Use a shutter speed of at least one second for long exposures to capture the motion blur of the ride effectively.
  3. Keep the ISO setting low to minimize image noise in the darker areas during long exposures.
