Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this long exposure of 25 seconds at f/22 and ISO 200, a small amount of light was captured to smooth the reflective surface of Lake Lucerne and highlight the light trails of the Ferris wheel.
- Choose a long shutter speed to achieve a calm water surface by smoothing out ripples.
- Use a small aperture like f/22 to maintain high depth of field from the foreground to Mount Pilatus.
- Use a focal length of 16 mm to capture both the Ferris wheel and the mountain in a single frame.
