Composition

View through a round railing at the sunset-lit Reuss river in Lucerne

Key tips

  1. Incorporate a nearby detail like the spider web as a foreground element to add depth to your composition.
  2. Pay attention to the composition to ensure the lighting enhances the subject and emphasises the contrast between textures.
  3. Choose a wide focal length to capture both the proximity of the foreground and the distance to the tower in your composition.
