Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this night shot, a long shutter speed of 30 seconds was used to capture enough light despite the small aperture of f/22. The focal length of 138 mm allowed for a detailed capture of the tower from a distance.

Choose a small aperture like f/22 to achieve great depth of field and capture the fine details of the architecture with precision.
Use a long shutter speed of 30 seconds to highlight details in low light, keeping the ISO at a moderate 400 to maintain low image noise.
With a focal length of 138 mm, ensure a stable position to achieve a sharp result during the long exposure time.
