Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this image, an aperture of f/11 provides sufficient depth of field to keep both the flower box in the foreground and the Château Gütsch in the background in focus. The shutter speed of 1/60 s and ISO 200 are well suited for the cloudy light conditions, allowing for a clear handheld shot.

  • Use architectural elements like a window frame to frame your subject and create natural depth.
  • Incorporate a foreground element, such as a flower box, to add visual interest and provide contrast to the distant building.
  • Choose a medium aperture under cloudy skies to ensure that both near and distant parts of the scene are sharp.
