Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, the long exposure time of 10 seconds creates a smooth effect on the water surface, while the aperture of f/22 ensures a deep depth of field. The ISO of 800 provides the necessary sensitivity during twilight conditions.
- Use a wide-angle lens such as 15 mm to capture the vast landscape of Lake Lucerne and Mount Pilatus in a single frame.
- Experiment with the exposure time to intentionally control the movement of the water surface in low light.
- Pay attention to subtle details like the crescent moon in the sky to enhance the overall composition of your image.
