Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot was taken at 18 mm focal length, f/3.5, 1/80 s, and ISO 1600 to maintain a fast enough shutter speed for moving subjects despite the fading light. This setup allowed for capturing the ducks sharply while preserving the atmosphere.
- Use a wide aperture like f/3.5 to allow more light onto the sensor in dim conditions.
- Choose a low shooting position near the water to focus the perspective on the ducks in the foreground.
- Use a wide-angle focal length of 18 mm to capture the expanse of the scene, including the Chapel Bridge and Mount Pilatus.
