Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this shot with a 45 mm focal length, an aperture of f/9 was chosen to provide sufficient depth of field for the landscape, while the shutter speed of 1/80 s and an ISO of 640 ensure a sharp exposure in the muted evening light.

  • Use a mid-range aperture such as f/9 to keep both the foreground forest and Mount Pilatus in focus.
  • Maintain a shutter speed of 1/80 s or faster to avoid camera shake under these lighting conditions.
  • Observe the evening light to best capture the autumn colors of the trees.
