Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this shot, an aperture of f/14 and a focal length of 12 mm were used to capture both the Chapel Bridge and Mount Pilatus with a deep depth of field.

  • Use a small aperture like f/14 to ensure both the near details of the Chapel Bridge and the distant Mount Pilatus remain sharp.
  • Utilize a wide-angle focal length of 12 mm to encompass the scale of the cityscape, including the reflection in the river.
  • Pay attention to a stable grip for the 1/15 s shutter speed to ensure a clear image without blur in this light.
