Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot during the blue hour, the shutter speed of 1/2 second allows for sufficient light, while the aperture of f/4 and ISO 500 maintain a good balance between detail and noise.
- Make use of the blue hour to achieve balanced lighting between the illuminated Wasserturm and the natural ambient light in the sky.
- Choose a wide-angle focal length to capture both the Wasserturm and the Pilatus massif together within the frame.
- When focusing on composition, position the Wasserturm to allow its reflections in the water to enhance the overall image.
