Photography tips
How this image was taken
This night shot was captured with a shutter speed of 1/25 s and an aperture of f/4. The ISO setting of 4000 enabled the camera to capture the existing light on the facade, while the 45 mm focal length provides a focused perspective of the architecture.
- Use a wide aperture like f/4 to allow as much light as possible onto the sensor in dark conditions.
- Keep the shutter speed short to prevent motion blur in the scene.
- Increase the ISO setting for night architecture shots to achieve proper brightness despite short exposure times.
- Choose a medium focal length to frame the building clearly without distortion.
