Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot was taken with a focal length of 28 mm, an aperture of f/6.3, and a shutter speed of 1/250 s at ISO 100. This setup provided sufficient depth of field for the urban backdrop and a fast enough shutter speed to capture the moving clouds in sharp detail as the light faded.
- Use a moderate aperture such as f/6.3 to capture both urban details and the silhouettes of the mountains.
- Select a focal length of 28 mm to achieve a wide view of the city and the surrounding landscape.
- Use a short shutter speed of 1/250 s if you want to freeze the structure of dynamic clouds during sunset.
