Technically, enable HDR to balance the light between the sky and water, and choose a shutter speed of 1/250 seconds or higher to reduce shaking caused by the moving cabin. The best angle is in the middle of the journey, when the cabin reaches a height of 150–160 m, encompassing the entire bay without being obstructed by structures on the shore.
