Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, the combination of an f/22 aperture and a 1.3-second shutter speed creates great depth of field and an even exposure. The 12 mm focal length captures the entire scene with a distinctive perspective.
- Use a wide-angle lens like 12 mm to incorporate the Chapel Bridge and water tower as a striking foreground in your frame.
- Select a small aperture like f/22 to ensure both the wooden structure in the foreground and Mount Pilatus in the background are in focus.
- Ensure you use a stable camera support for the 1.3-second shutter speed to achieve a sharp image despite the long exposure.
