Photography tips
How this image was taken
To capture the light trail of the passing train, a shutter speed of 4 seconds was used. The aperture of f/4 combined with an ISO of 640 ensures a balanced exposure of Mount Pilatus and the autumnal landscape during fading light.
- Use a long shutter speed to render the train's movement as a continuous light trail.
- Choose a wide-angle focal length of 13 mm to capture the expansive landscape panorama including the mountain.
- Adjust the ISO setting according to the dusk conditions to maintain sufficient detail despite the shutter speed.
