Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, an aperture of f/22 was chosen to achieve a deep depth of field, while an ISO of 1250 allowed for shooting in the fading evening light.
- Use a small aperture like f/22 to keep both the near rock foreground and the distant mountain landscape in focus.
- Select a higher ISO value in fading evening light to maintain a shutter speed fast enough for handheld photography.
- Pay attention to your composition by including prominent rock formations in the foreground to emphasize the depth of the view over Lake Lucerne.
