Photography tips
How this image was taken
The shutter speed of 1.6 s combined with an aperture of f/8 allows for a clear representation of the facade, while the low ISO of 160 ensures low-noise results despite the nighttime lighting. The 12 mm focal length provides a wide angle that captures the entire building.
- Use a longer shutter speed to gather sufficient light for the nocturnal architecture.
- Choose a mid-range aperture like f/8 to achieve consistent sharpness from the facade to the foreground.
- Utilize an ultra-wide-angle lens if you intend to capture the entire building in a single frame.
