Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this shot at 22 mm focal length, an aperture of f/22 was chosen to achieve deep focus, while the shutter speed of 1.6 s smoothes the water surface. The ISO value of 400 ensures sufficient exposure during the light conditions at dawn.

  • Use the steel frame as a leading line to guide the viewer's eye directly to Mount Pilatus.
  • Use a longer shutter speed to depict the movement of the water as smooth and fluid.
  • Set the aperture to f/22 to ensure that both the foreground stones and the background are in sharp focus.
