Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this shot, an aperture of f/22 was used to achieve a great depth of field, keeping both the bridge in the foreground and Mount Pilatus in the background in focus. The combination with ISO 100 and a shutter speed of 1/20 s ensures detailed reproduction with minimal image noise.

  • Use a 12 mm wide-angle lens to capture both the Chapel Bridge and the Jesuit Church within the frame.
  • Select a small aperture like f/22 if you want consistent sharpness from the foreground to the horizon.
  • Keep your ISO setting low to maximize image quality in architectural photography.
