Photography tips

How this image was taken

Using an aperture of f/29 under this daylight allows for a deep depth of field, keeping both the foreground and Mount Pilatus in the background in focus. The shutter speed of 1/80 s and ISO 160 ensure a balanced exposure in these bright conditions.

  • Use a small aperture to ensure that both near details and distant mountains are captured sharply in landscape shots.
  • Select a focal length in the moderate wide-angle range to capture the river and the historical surroundings from a natural perspective.
