Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this image, a shutter speed of 4 seconds was used to capture the light trails of the fireworks, while an aperture of f/8 provides sufficient depth of field and an ISO of 200 ensures minimal image noise.
- Use a longer shutter speed to capture the movement of the fireworks above the Chapel Bridge.
- Select a medium aperture such as f/8 to keep architectural details sharp.
- Choose a low ISO setting to minimize image noise in night photography.
- Use a 24 mm wide-angle lens to capture the fireworks, the water tower, and its reflection in the Reuss river.
