Photography tips

How this image was taken

The combination of a 5-second shutter speed, an f/10 aperture, and ISO 100 enables high detail and clean image quality in low light conditions.

  • Use a long exposure of 5 seconds to achieve a smooth effect on the water of the Reuss river.
  • Choose a small aperture like f/10 to ensure a deep focus from the Chapel Bridge to the Jesuit Church.
  • Maintain a low ISO setting of 100 to avoid image noise in the darker areas during dusk.
  • Use a 15 mm focal length to capture both the Chapel Bridge and the Jesuit Church in a wide-angle composition.
