Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this aerial shot, the combination of a fast shutter speed of 1/640 s and an aperture of f/8 allowed for a sharp image with good depth of field from a significant distance. The low ISO of 160 ensures clear image quality without unwanted noise.
- Select a fast shutter speed to prevent motion blur caused by shooting from the air.
- Use a medium aperture to achieve consistent sharpness across the entire dense city center.
- Utilize a long focal length of 400 mm to precisely capture details like the Reuss river and the Chapel Bridge from a distant perspective.
