Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, the long exposure of 6 seconds creates the smooth effect on the water at the Reuss dam, while the small aperture of f/22 ensures deep focus throughout the image. The low ISO of 100 keeps the image quality clean and sharp.
- Use a long exposure time to purposefully soften the motion of the flowing river.
- Select a small aperture like f/22 to keep both the wooden details of the bridge in the foreground and the old town in the background in focus.
- Experiment with a wide-angle focal length of 15 mm to emphasize the spatial effect of the covered bridge as a natural frame for your subject.
