Bürgenstock Hotels in the snowy winter forest

Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this shot at a 400 mm focal length, a shutter speed of 1/125 s and an aperture of f/25 were selected, with an ISO of 800 providing the necessary light sensitivity. The small aperture helps to achieve the greatest possible depth of field in the winter landscape, despite the long telephoto lens.

• Use a long focal length to visually bring the hotel complex closer to the striking mountain backdrop.
• Choose a small aperture if you want to ensure that both the buildings and the structure of the winter forest are captured in detail.
• Pay attention to the ISO value when shooting in snowy areas to ensure short shutter speeds for a sharp image, despite high aperture settings.
