Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, an open aperture of f/2 and an ISO value of 1600 were chosen to capture enough light for the Milky Way and the night sky during the ten-second exposure. The 12 mm focal length provided the wide field of view over Mount Pilatus.
- Use a fast aperture to allow sufficient light to reach the sensor in nocturnal conditions.
- Select a high ISO value to make the details of the starry sky visible.
- Use a wide-angle lens to capture both the mountain massif and the vast night sky.
