Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot during sunset, an aperture of f/22 was used to create a distinct sunburst effect, while the 16 mm focal length captures a wide view of the Reuss river.
- Use a small aperture like f/22 to turn light sources into a sunburst.
- Choose a wide-angle focal length to encompass the full width of the river and the surrounding architecture.
- Adjust your ISO setting to ensure a balanced level of image noise when using these specific aperture and shutter speed values.
