Photography tips

How this image was taken

This shot, taken at a focal length of 110 mm, uses an aperture of f/10 to achieve a deep depth of field across the rooftops. The fast shutter speed of 1/1000 s ensures a sharp, blur-free image of the architectural details at an ISO of 400.

  • Choose a closed aperture like f/10 to keep both the Zytglogge tower and the Federal Palace in the background in focus.
  • Use a medium focal length of 100 mm or more to compress the roofs visually and achieve a structured composition.
  • Ensure a fast shutter speed to capture the fine textures of the tiled roofs without any camera shake.
