Photography tips
How this image was taken
A shutter speed of 2 seconds was used for this shot to render the movement of the Reuss river smoothly. The small aperture of f/22 ensures a high depth of field from the foreground to the background.
- Use a long shutter speed to depict moving water surfaces in a calm and smooth manner.
- Choose a small aperture when you want to achieve consistent sharpness throughout an urban scene.
- Utilize a wide-angle lens at 12 mm to capture the full breadth of the architecture and the bridge.
