Photography Tips

For night photography with long exposure from a bridge, use a tripod and low ISO, set manual focus, and shoot in RAW. Use a remote or timer to avoid shake, and turn off image stabilization. Aim for 10–30 sec exposures to capture light trails, and time shots to avoid bridge vibrations. Include structural elements for depth.
