Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this image taken during the blue hour, the shutter speed of 2.5 s ensures a balanced exposure of the scene, while the aperture of f/22 provides a deep depth of field. The 18 mm focal length captures the Chapel Bridge and the water tower in a wide perspective.
- Use a small aperture like f/22 to achieve a great depth of field ranging from the Chapel Bridge to Mount Pilatus.
- Choose a longer shutter speed to gather enough light during twilight for the details on the bridge and the water.
- Use a wide-angle focal length of 18 mm when you want to include the architectural surroundings in your landscape composition.
