Photography tips

How this image was taken

To capture the movement of the Ferris wheel, an exposure time of 8 seconds was chosen, while the aperture of f/32 and ISO 800 manage the exposure in the given lighting conditions.

  • Use a long shutter speed to render the rotation of the Ferris wheel as a soft blur.
  • Choose a small aperture like f/32 if you want to achieve a deep depth of field to capture both the Ferris wheel and Mount Pilatus in the background.
  • Use a medium ISO sensitivity like 800 to adjust to the light levels and enable a suitable shutter speed.
