Photography tips

How this image was taken

This image uses a shutter speed of 4 s to capture sufficient light during dusk, while the aperture of f/10 ensures deep focus from the Ferris wheel to Mount Pilatus. The low ISO of 200 maintains high image quality without noticeable noise.

  • Use a long shutter speed to capture a clear, steady reflection of the illuminated Ferris wheel in the water.
  • Select a small aperture to ensure both the foreground Ferris wheel and the background mountain are in focus.
  • Employ a wide-angle focal length of 16 mm to capture the expansive view of the Pilatus alongside the Ferris wheel.
