Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this shot at a 50 mm focal length, an aperture of f/11 was selected to achieve a deep depth of field, while the shutter speed of 1/320 s at ISO 400 ensures a precise image without motion blur.

  • Use a stopped-down aperture like f/11 to capture the mountain massif with consistent sharpness.
  • Select a shutter speed of at least 1/320 s when shooting handheld to ensure a sharp image.
  • Pay attention to the lighting during twilight to capture the warm tones on the rocky slopes effectively.
