Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, a shutter speed of 1.3 s was chosen at a focal length of 22 mm to achieve proper exposure despite low light, while an aperture of f/4 and ISO 1000 capture the details of the light projections.
- Use a longer shutter speed to capture the reflections of the projections on the surface of the Reuss river.
- Select a wide-angle focal length to ensure both the architecture of the Chapel Bridge and the Water Tower fit completely within the frame.
- Balance your ISO sensitivity to maintain clear image quality while ensuring the artificial lighting is adequately exposed.
