Photography tips

How this image was taken

This shot at 400 mm focal length uses a fast shutter speed of 1/1000 s to freeze the movement of the cable car despite the high magnification, while ISO 100 ensures optimal image quality in bright daylight.

  • Use a fast shutter speed to capture the cable car without motion blur.
  • Choose a low ISO setting to avoid image noise in the presence of bright snow.
  • Use a long focal length to bring the subject closer and compress the mountain landscape.
