Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this night shot, the one-second shutter speed and open aperture of f/3.2 allow for capturing sufficient light without excessive noise. The 12 mm focal length provides a wide perspective from within the bridge.
- Choose a long shutter speed to capture enough light and emphasize the reflections of the illumination on the Reuss river.
- Use an open aperture to take full advantage of your lens's light sensitivity during night photography.
- Utilize a wide-angle focal length to consciously incorporate the architectural frame of the bridge as a foreground element in your composition.
