Photography tips
How this image was taken
With a focal length of 20 mm, you capture a wide field of view, while the small aperture of f/25 ensures a large depth of field, keeping both the rock formations in the foreground and Lake Lucerne in focus. The shutter speed of 1/80 s combined with ISO 200 allows for a stable shot without blur under these lighting conditions.
- Use a wide-angle lens to emphasize the scale of the mountain flank.
- Choose a small aperture to achieve deep focus from front to back.
- Incorporate distinct features like the hiking trail as leading lines in your composition.
