Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot in bright Foehn weather, a fast shutter speed of 1/1600 s was chosen to freeze the splashing water droplets sharply. The aperture of f/7.1 provides sufficient depth of field, while the focal length of 22 mm captures the scene in a wide perspective.
- Use a very fast shutter speed if you want to freeze rapid motion like splashing water.
- Select a medium aperture to keep both the foreground and the subject in the background in focus.
- Use a wide-angle lens to capture the expanse of the lakeshore landscape.
