Photography tips
How this image was taken
With a focal length of 15 mm, the aperture of f/6.3 ensures sharp imaging across the entire scene, while ISO 100 maximizes image quality in the bright evening light. The fast shutter speed of 1/500 s freezes the movement of the water surface.
- Use a wide-angle lens to capture Mount Pilatus in the background and the bollard in the foreground simultaneously.
- Place prominent objects like the bollard deliberately at the edge of the frame to create a natural sense of depth.
- Focus on the interaction between the nearby foreground and the distant panorama when composing your shot.
