Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this sunset shot, an aperture of f/22 was used to create the distinct sunburst effect at the light source. The 16 mm focal length captures the expansive scenery of the Jesuit Church and the Reuss river.
- Use a closed aperture like f/22 when you want to highlight the sunburst effect in direct backlight.
- Choose a focal length of 16 mm to obtain a wide field of view and optimally integrate the surrounding architecture.
- Pay attention to composition and place subjects like the Jesuit Church strategically within your frame.
