Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot was captured using a 12 mm focal length, providing a wide perspective of Mount Pilatus and the lake. An aperture of f/5 combined with ISO 200 and a shutter speed of 1/200 s ensures a sharp image under these specific light conditions.
- Use a wide-angle lens to capture the full scale of the mountain landscape.
- Select an appropriate aperture to maintain a balanced depth of field between the foreground rocks and the distant lake.
- Use a fast shutter speed when shooting handheld to prevent motion blur in varying lighting situations.
