Dusk

Illuminated paddle steamer Uri on Lake Lucerne with a forested mountain backdrop

Key tips

  1. Choose a moderate ISO value at dusk to capture the lighting mood of the market stalls without excessive image noise.
  2. Adjust the ISO setting according to the dusk conditions to maintain sufficient detail despite the shutter speed.
  3. Choose a low ISO setting like ISO 100 to avoid image noise in the dark areas during dusk.
