Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot was captured using an aperture of f/22 to emphasize the starburst effect of the sun, while a shutter speed of 1/60 s and ISO 1000 at a focal length of 12 mm ensured a sharp image despite the fading light.
- Choose a small aperture like f/22 if you want to create a starburst effect with direct sunlight.
- Use a wide focal length of 12 mm to capture the vastness of Lake Lucerne and the cloudy sky in their entirety.
- Adjust the ISO sensitivity to the lighting conditions to ensure a sufficiently fast shutter speed despite the closed aperture.
