Photography tips

How this image was taken

This image was captured with a focal length of 45 mm, providing a natural perspective of the Pilatus massif. The combination of a 1/320 s shutter speed and f/4 aperture at ISO 200 allows for a clear depiction of the mountain in the fading light of sunset.

  • Use a shutter speed of 1/320 s to prevent motion blur when shooting handheld.
  • Select a medium aperture like f/4 to focus on the mountain while capturing sufficient light.
  • Keep the ISO at 200 to ensure high image quality without digital noise in the evening light.
