Photography tips
How this image was taken
With a shutter speed of 1/2 second and ISO 500, you capture the light of the installations and the evening atmosphere on the water. The aperture of f/4 allows enough light in for this night shot.
- Use a shutter speed of about half a second to capture the light of the festival projections on the water surface.
- Choose an aperture of f/4 to find a good balance between light intake and image details.
- Focus on the composition by positioning the water tower and the Pilatus mountain so that the reflections in the foreground are well integrated.
