Photography tips

How this image was taken

This shot uses a 15 mm focal length with ISO 100, a shutter speed of 1/125 s, and an aperture of f/4.5 to capture the light of the sunset over the lake.

  • Choose a low ISO value to achieve high image quality and detail in the warm color tones.
  • Use a short focal length in the wide-angle range to capture the expanse of the lake and the massif of Mount Pilatus together.
  • Pay attention to the bright areas of the sky during exposure so that the colors of the evening light look natural.
