Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using a 200 mm focal length helps to bring the mountain massif closer to the architectural elements in the foreground, while the f/16 aperture ensures deep depth of field for the entire scene.
- Use the telephoto lens at 200 mm to visually compress distant subjects like Mount Pilatus with the urban architecture in the foreground.
- Choose a narrow aperture like f/16 to maintain sharp focus on both the details of the tower and the textures of the mountain.
- Focus your composition on using foreground architectural elements to create a natural frame that draws the eye towards the mountain panorama.
