Photography tips

How this image was taken

This image uses a long shutter speed of 1.3 seconds to smooth the water surface, while an aperture of f/22 allows for deep focus from the foreground to Mount Pilatus in the background.

  • Use a small aperture like f/22 to achieve sharp focus throughout your entire composition.
  • Choose a long shutter speed to calm the motion of the water and create a steady reflection of the tower.
  • Keep the ISO setting low to minimize image noise while using longer shutter speeds during the evening light.
