Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using a fast shutter speed of 1/640 s helps to freeze the motion of the water and the objects, while an aperture of f/4.5 combined with a 15 mm focal length provides sufficient depth of field to keep the foreground water and the distant Chapel Bridge and Pilatus massif in focus.
- Choose a perspective close to the water surface to add dynamic elements to your foreground.
- Utilize a wide-angle lens to capture the Chapel Bridge, the surrounding city architecture, and the mountain panorama in the evening light.
- Adjust your camera settings to ensure a sufficiently short shutter speed when dealing with moving water.
