Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/22 creates the distinct starburst effect around the sun, while the shutter speed of 1/250 s and ISO 200 effectively manage the bright light. The 25 mm focal length enhances the expansive feeling of the landscape.
- Use a narrow aperture like f/22 to shape light effects when shooting directly into the sun.
- Position a prominent object in the foreground to create depth through a silhouette.
- Choose a wide field of view with a 25 mm focal length to capture the vastness and the hazy atmosphere of the mountains.
