Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, the shutter speed of 1.6 seconds combined with an aperture of f/22 creates the soft surface of the water, while the ISO 400 balances the evening light.
- Use the steel pier as a graphical element to guide the viewer's eye towards the background.
- Select a short focal length of 22 mm to emphasize the vastness of the lake and the distance to the mountain massif.
- Experiment with the shutter speed to adjust the texture of the water surface during the sunset.
