Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this image, a shutter speed of 2 seconds was chosen to capture the movement of the water smoothly, while the aperture of f/22 ensures a deep depth of field. The low ISO of 64 maintains high image quality without noise during this long exposure.
- Use a long shutter speed to make the water of the Reuss appear smooth and flowing in your shot.
- Select a small aperture like f/22 if you want to achieve sharpness from the foreground elements to the Water Tower.
- Use a wide-angle lens at 22 mm to include both the architectural subject and the riverside promenade in your composition.
