Photography tips
How this image was taken
This night shot uses an exposure time of 1 second at an aperture of f/2.2, allowing for a sharp rendering of details without needing high ISO values despite the low light. The 12 mm focal length provides a wide angle of view, emphasizing the spatial depth of the bridge.
- Choose a wide aperture such as f/2.2 to capture available ambient light and keep ISO levels low.
- Use a longer exposure time to capture the light reflections on the surface of the Reuss river.
- Employ a wide-angle lens to capture the architectural details of the Chapel Bridge while maintaining a broad perspective of the surroundings.
