Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at 15 mm focal length, an aperture of f/10 was chosen to ensure a high depth of field across the entire scene. The combination of 1/80 s shutter speed and ISO 2000 provides sufficient exposure during the fading light of the sunset.
- Use a wide-angle lens like 15 mm to capture the vast alpine landscape and the architecture on Pilatus in its entirety.
- Select a closed aperture like f/10 to keep both the buildings in the foreground and the rock formations sharp.
- Balance your ISO setting to ensure a steady shot at 1/80 s as the available light decreases.
