Photography tips
How this image was taken
With an aperture of f/22, you achieve a large depth of field that keeps both the nearby Chapel Bridge and the distant Pilatus massif in focus, while ISO 100 ensures high image quality. The 12 mm focal length captures the scene with a wide perspective.
- Use a small aperture to obtain consistent sharpness from the objects in the foreground to the horizon.
- Experiment with the focal length to include the entire space between the bridge and the mountain using a wide angle.
- Pay attention to the shutter speed, as it must be intentionally set longer with a closed aperture to achieve proper exposure.
