Chapel Bridge and Water Tower in Lucerne

Using a focal length of 15 mm allowed you to capture the Chapel Bridge and its surroundings in a wide frame, while the shutter speed of 1/640 s freezes the movement of the water and the architectural details. The aperture of f/4.5 provides sufficient depth of field to keep both the foreground and the mountains in the background in focus.

• Use a wide-angle lens to combine the scale of the bridge and the breadth of the city in a single composition.
• Consider your choice of shutter speed carefully depending on whether you wish to create motion blur in the water or freeze the ripples precisely.
• Select a moderate aperture setting to maintain a balance between light intake and consistent depth of field across the entire scene.
