Kelvin 3200-4000

How do I make my night photo focus?
The easiest way to get a good focus in night photography is to simply set your focus to Infinity. However, the sharpest point isn’t always exactly at infinity, but nearby. A good idea is to prefocus the camera before heading out and either mark the spot with a pen or simply tape the focus ring so it won’t move.
