Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this shot, the chosen aperture of f/22 provides a deep depth of field, while the shutter speed of 1/160 s at ISO 500 allows for proper exposure in the evening light.

  • Use the architecture of the Chapel Bridge as a natural frame to guide the viewer's eye towards Mount Pilatus.
  • Choose a small aperture if you want to keep both the foreground wood and the distant massif in sharp focus.
  • Pay attention to the evening light, which accentuates the texture of the wood and the snow-covered peaks due to the low angle of the sun.
