Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/20 creates a pronounced starburst effect when shooting into the sun, while the 14mm focal length captures both the lettering and the panoramic landscape.
- Use a small aperture like f/20 to achieve a sunburst effect when shooting directly into the light.
- Use a wide-angle focal length to include both the illuminated object in the foreground and Mount Pilatus in the background.
- Pay attention to the balance between light and shadows with an ISO of 500 to ensure details within the lettering remain visible against the bright sun.
