Photography tips

How this image was taken

This night shot uses a shutter speed of 1/30s and an aperture of f/4 to capture the illuminated facade despite low light, with an ISO of 6400 providing the necessary light sensitivity.

  • Choose a wide aperture like f/4 for night photography to allow as much light as possible onto the sensor.
  • Ensure a short shutter speed to avoid motion blur in the foreground flags when shooting handheld.
  • Use a higher ISO setting if you are shooting in low ambient light without additional equipment.
