Photography tips
How this image was taken
The shutter speed of 1 second combined with the aperture of f/22 creates the soft rendering of the flowing Reuss, while the low ISO of 100 preserves image quality in this evening light. The 20 mm focal length captures the scene in the old town with a wide perspective.
- Use a long shutter speed to intentionally blur the movement of the water.
- Select a small aperture like f/22 to achieve deep depth of field, keeping both the foreground and the Jesuit Church in focus.
- Consider your focal length to harmoniously integrate architectural elements of the city, such as the Jesuit Church, into your composition.
