Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this bright daylight, a low ISO of 100 and a small aperture of f/22 ensure a great depth of field from the river bank to Mount Pilatus. The shutter speed of 1/100 s with a 15 mm focal length captures the expansive scenery in great detail.
- Choose a small aperture to achieve deep focus, ensuring both the foreground and background remain sharp.
- Use a short focal length in the wide-angle range to capture the scale of the old town and the river flow in a single frame.
- Maintain a low ISO setting in bright light conditions to ensure high image quality without digital noise.
