Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this nocturnal motif, the shutter speed of 1.6 s and the aperture of f/5 allow for a proper exposure of the light installation, while the ISO setting of 800 provides the necessary light sensitivity. The 30 mm focal length captures the scene in a natural perspective.
- Utilize the shutter speed deliberately to capture the details of the projections on the Chapel Bridge in low light conditions.
- Focus on the composition by incorporating the reflections on the Reuss river into the frame.
- Adjust the settings for ISO and aperture to ensure both the bright light sources and the darker areas of the water are well defined.
