Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using a focal length of 15 mm allowed for a wide view of Mount Pilatus, while the aperture of f/18 ensures a deep depth of field. The fast shutter speed of 1/500 s freezes the cloud motion despite the ISO of 400.
- Use a wide-angle lens to capture both the building and the distinctive rock formations of the summit in their entirety.
- Choose a small aperture like f/18 to achieve consistent sharpness from the nearby structures to the background.
- Pay attention to a fast shutter speed under cloudy skies to maintain clear structure in the cloud formations.
