Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/10 provides sufficient depth of field to emphasize the fine textures of the stone, while a shutter speed of 1/320 s at ISO 200 ensures a sharp image.
- Use a telephoto lens with a focal length of around 150 mm to isolate specific details from a distance.
- Look for side lighting to highlight the sandstone texture through the interplay of light and shadow.
- Choose a medium aperture such as f/10 to achieve enough depth of field for the entire structure.
