How this image was taken

This night shot uses a shutter speed of 1/15 s to capture the reflections on the water, while the aperture of f/4 and an ISO of 4000 provide the necessary brightness in low ambient light conditions.

  • Pay attention to the shutter speed when shooting at night to avoid motion blur in handheld shots.
  • Experiment with different ISO values to find a balance between image brightness and image noise.
  • Use the light reflections in the water to add depth and texture to your image at night.
