Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/10 achieves a deep depth of field, ensuring that both the ferris wheel in the mid-ground and the Alps in the background remain sharp. The combination of a 1/80 s shutter speed and ISO 200 provides a clean, well-exposed image under these lighting conditions.
- Use trees as a natural frame to add depth to your shot and direct the viewer's gaze toward the lake basin.
- Select a medium focal length to capture the ferris wheel as a distinct focal point in relation to the mountain backdrop.
- Pay attention to your composition by ensuring the different layers—from the foreground foliage to the distant mountains—are balanced within the frame.
