Sunset through the railing on the Reuss river

The setting sun shines through an opening in the wrought iron railing of the Reuss river, casting golden light onto the cityscape of Lucerne. A delicate spider web spans the oval frame, catching the last of the daylight.

Photography tips

How this image was taken

To capture this effect, an aperture of f/18 was used, which condenses the rays of the low sun into a distinct star shape. A focal length of 13 mm allowed for a wide capture of the scene and optimal use of the frame.

  • Use a small aperture of f/18 to create a starburst effect when photographing direct light sources.
  • Incorporate a nearby detail like the spider web as a foreground element to add depth to your composition.
  • Choose a wide focal length like 13 mm to use the railing as a natural frame for the subject in the background.
