Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this image taken at dusk, a shutter speed of 1.3 s was chosen to achieve proper exposure at f/4 despite the low ambient light, while keeping the ISO at 500 to maintain moderate image noise. The 37 mm focal length provides a balanced perspective between the illuminated water tower and the Pilatus massif.
- Use a stable surface for longer shutter speeds to ensure the shot remains sharp despite the low light conditions.
- Select an open aperture such as f/4 to allow enough light onto the sensor as darkness sets in.
- Keep the ISO setting as low as possible to capture the details in the snow-covered mountains and light projections with minimal noise.
