Galata Blue Hour – Phone & Camera Settings

Key: stabilize with body brace, shoot burst mode for phones, and open aperture for cameras.

Settings

• Phone: night mode, HDR on, burst for movement.
• Camera: f/2.8–4, ISO 800–1600, 1/60–1/125s.

Stabilization Tricks

• Brace back against inner wall.
• Elbows in; exhale gently before pressing.
• Use railing lightly — no leaning out.

Exposure mantra: “open, steady, short” — open aperture, steady stance, short exposure.
