Photography tips

How this image was taken

Using a shutter speed of 1/2 second at f/7.1 and ISO 100 ensures high detail and a calm rendering of the water surface. The 24 mm focal length effectively captures the architecture within the expansive backdrop of Mount Pilatus.

  • Choose a low ISO sensitivity, such as 100, to ensure high image quality without noise.
  • Use a medium aperture setting, such as f/7.1, to keep both the Chapel Bridge and the background in focus.
  • Use a 24 mm wide-angle lens to capture both the buildings and the snow-capped mountain in one frame.
