Photography tips

How this image was taken

Using a fast shutter speed of 1/640 s helps to freeze the motion of the water and the objects, while an aperture of f/4.5 combined with a 15 mm focal length provides sufficient depth of field to keep the foreground water and the distant Chapel Bridge and Pilatus massif in focus.

  • Choose a perspective close to the water surface to add dynamic elements to your foreground.
  • Utilize a wide-angle lens to capture the Chapel Bridge, the surrounding city architecture, and the mountain panorama in the evening light.
  • Adjust your camera settings to ensure a sufficiently short shutter speed when dealing with moving water.
