Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this daylight shot, the shutter speed of 1/400 s and an ISO of 400 ensure a precise exposure without camera shake at an aperture of f/4.5. The focal length of 15 mm allows for the wide view of the Chapel Bridge and the Pilatus massif.

  • Use a wide-angle lens to capture the full extent of the Chapel Bridge and its surroundings in a single frame.
  • Choose a perspective close to the water surface to incorporate the Reuss river as a dynamic element in the foreground.
  • Pay attention to the composition by placing prominent landmarks like the water tower and the Jesuit Church harmoniously within the frame.
