Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this detail view with a focal length of 347 mm, a shutter speed of 1/500 s was chosen to avoid motion blur at long focal lengths, while the high ISO value of 4000 ensures the necessary light sensitivity.

  • Use a long focal length to show architectural details like the Musegg towers in a compressed manner.
  • Pay attention to the alley as a frame in your composition to create depth and focus on the subject.
  • Use a fast shutter speed to achieve a sharp representation of the facade textures even under challenging light conditions.
