Photography tips

How this image was taken

In this image, the closed aperture f/14 allows for great depth of field, while the low ISO 64 ensures a detailed image without noise. The shutter speed of 1/4 s requires a steady hand or a solid surface.

  • Use an aperture of f/14 to keep both the autumn foliage in the foreground and the Ferris wheel and Mount Pilatus in the background in focus.
  • Choose a low ISO setting like ISO 64 to achieve high image quality with fine details when light levels allow.
  • Use the foliage as a natural frame to add depth to your shot and draw the eye towards the subject in the center.
