Photography tips

How this image was taken

With a shutter speed of 6 seconds and an aperture of f/10, a low amount of light was captured to detail the artificial lighting and the evening atmosphere on the Reuss river. The ISO 100 ensures a clean, noise-free image.

  • Use an aperture of f/10 to ensure both the structure of the Chapel Bridge in the foreground and the Jesuit Church in the background are captured in focus.
  • Employ a shutter speed of several seconds to smooth out the reflections of the lights in the water and give the river a calm surface.
  • Choose a focal length of 30 mm to use the wooden foreground as a frame and direct the view towards the architecture.
