Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this image, the long shutter speed of 4 seconds allows for capturing the low light of the blue hour at a low ISO setting of 100, ensuring clean image quality. An aperture of f/4 provides sufficient light intake for the night scene.
- Use a long shutter speed to balance the brightness as daylight fades.
- Choose a low ISO value to minimize image noise in the dark areas of the city view.
- Set an open aperture to ensure enough light reaches the sensor while you capture the rooftops of Lucerne.
