Photography tips
How this image was taken
With a shutter speed of 2.5 seconds and an aperture of f/7.1, a low sensitivity of ISO 200 was chosen to balance the illumination of the Ferris wheel with the ambient light at dusk. The 16 mm focal length captured the wide view across the water toward Mount Pilatus.
- Use a longer shutter speed to capture the reflections of the lights on the water surface in a smooth and calm way.
- Select a medium aperture like f/7.1 to ensure sharp focus for both the Ferris wheel and the mountain silhouette.
- Use a 16 mm wide-angle lens to emphasize the landscape and the proportions between the city and the mountain.
