Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this image, a shutter speed of 1/200 s was selected to capture the subject clearly despite the 45 mm focal length. The aperture of f/4.5 provides sufficient depth of field for the landscape, while the ISO 200 setting keeps image noise low in this diffuse lighting.
- Use a moderate shutter speed to avoid motion blur under changing light conditions.
- Select a wide aperture to capture the fading evening light optimally.
- Maintain a low ISO setting to ensure high image quality when capturing mist and fine cloud structures.
