Photography tips

How this image was taken

The long exposure time of 10 seconds creates the visible motion blur of the Ferris wheel, while the aperture of f/32 ensures a deep depth of field to capture both the KKL and Mount Pilatus sharply.

  • Choose a long shutter speed to capture moving objects like a Ferris wheel with motion blur.
  • Use a small aperture like f/32 if you need a deep depth of field for both the foreground and background.
  • Ensure your camera is stable, as long exposure times at 100 mm focal length are highly sensitive to even the slightest movement.
