Photography tips

How this image was taken

This shot was captured with a focal length of 15 mm and a shutter speed of 1/400 s, freezing the water's motion and precisely documenting the expansive scenery. The aperture of f/4.5 creates a good separation between the image elements, while the ISO 400 provides sufficient flexibility for the lighting conditions.

  • Choose a low camera perspective right above the water surface to achieve a dynamic foreground.
  • Use a wide-angle lens like 15 mm to capture both the Chapel Bridge and Mount Pilatus in the background completely.
  • Maintain a fast shutter speed like 1/400 s so that the movement of the water is captured sharp and rich in detail.
