Photography tips

How this image was taken

This shot was captured using a shutter speed of 1/8 s to ensure enough light despite the narrow aperture of f/22, while also keeping the water surface of the Reuss river calm. The 15 mm focal length provides a wide view of the water tower and the lighting.

  • Use a wide-angle lens for a comprehensive image composition.
  • Choose a small aperture like f/22 to achieve deep depth of field in the subject.
  • Select a longer shutter speed to depict the water in a calm and flowing manner.
