Photography tips
How this image was taken
This image was captured with a 400 mm focal length, creating a strong compression of the image planes. The shutter speed of 1/500 s ensures a sharp result, while the high ISO of 1600 and the closed aperture of f/25 allow for deliberate exposure control at this focal length.
- Use a long focal length to capture the subject in an isolated and large way.
- Choose a short shutter speed to avoid motion blur when using a high zoom factor.
- Adjust your ISO settings flexibly to capture photos under varying lighting conditions, even when using small apertures.
