Photography tips

How this image was taken

With a shutter speed of 1/2 second, you create intentional motion blur for the pedestrians, while the architecture of the Chapel Bridge and Mount Pilatus remain sharp. The aperture of f/5 and ISO 200 provide a balanced exposure with moderate depth of field.

  • Use a longer shutter speed to make busy locations appear dynamic rather than static.
  • At an exposure time of half a second, ensure you have a steady position or support to avoid camera shake.
  • Choose a low ISO value to maintain high image quality and detail in the background.
