Central composition

Covered wooden walkway of a historic vessel or building overlooking Lake Lucerne

Key tips

  1. Focus on a central composition where the lines of the red wooden wall guide the viewer's eye towards Lake Lucerne and the mountains.
  2. Use central composition by placing the pier exactly in the middle of the frame to guide the viewer's eye deep into the lake.
