Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot during the blue hour, a shutter speed of 4 seconds was used to smooth the water surface of the Reuss, creating a calm effect. The aperture of f/32, combined with a low ISO of 100, ensures a deep depth of field and precise exposure under the existing light conditions.
- Use a long shutter speed to minimize movement in the water and create a reflective surface.
- Choose a small aperture to achieve even sharpness across the entire subject through a high f-number.
- Keep the ISO value as low as possible to ensure a smooth image without noise during twilight.
