Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot, captured with a 1/1 s shutter speed and f/4 aperture, effectively balances the low light of twilight, while ISO 500 keeps image noise at a moderate level. The 30 mm focal length provides a balanced composition between the water tower and the Pilatus massif.
- Use a longer shutter speed for exposures in low ambient light to capture sufficient detail in the shadows.
- Choose a moderate aperture like f/4 to allow enough light to reach the sensor while maintaining focus on your main subject.
- Keep your ISO setting low during twilight to maintain image quality and minimize visible noise in darker areas of the photograph.
