Symmetry

Interior view of the Jesuit Church in Lucerne with light projections from the Lilu Light Festival.

Key tips

  1. Use a wide-angle lens like 18 mm to capture the entire architectural symmetry of the entrance.
  2. Pay attention to a centered perspective towards the door to maintain the symmetry of the facade.
  3. Pay attention to central alignment at a focal length of 21 mm to emphasize the symmetry of the street.
