Green park bench at the Lucerne lake promenade

Photography tips

How this image was taken

In this shot, the aperture of f/10 provides deep depth of field, while the 12 mm focal length captures the scene expansively. The shutter speed of 1/10 s and ISO 200 keep the subject stable under the cloudy light.

• Use a low camera position right at the bench to create a strong perspective.
• Use the bench as a deliberate foreground element to guide the viewer's eye into the frame.
• Choose a wide-angle focal length to capture both the details of the bench and the surroundings of the lake promenade.
