Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot with a 300 mm focal length, the short shutter speed of 1/400 s ensures a sharp capture of the tower and the distant Mount Pilatus, while the aperture of f/25 provides a deep depth of field.
- Use a long focal length to visually compress the distance between architectural details like the church tower and the background.
- Select a small aperture if you want to keep both the building in the foreground and the mountain structure in the background in sharp focus.
- Ensure a short shutter speed to avoid motion blur when shooting at high focal lengths.
