Rainy mood on the Lucerne lakeshore promenade

Photography tips

How this image was taken

In this image, the aperture of f/11 provides a large depth of field, keeping both the foreground bench and the background in focus. The shutter speed of 1/10 s combined with a low ISO of 200 ensures a steady exposure in these lighting conditions.

• Use a low camera angle right at the bench to intentionally include the foreground in your composition.
• Use a 12 mm wide-angle lens to emphasize the spatial depth along the lakeshore promenade.
• Choose a closed aperture like f/11 when you want to achieve a deep focus from the nearby bench to the distant background.
