Photography tips
How this image was taken
With a focal length of 141 mm and an aperture of f/6.3, the landscape is compressed, while the short shutter speed of 1/800 s at ISO 100 ensures sharp rendering of the distant details.
- Use architectural elements such as roof edges in the foreground to create a natural frame for your subject.
- Select a longer focal length to visually bring distant mountain ranges closer to the lake.
- Ensure a short shutter speed to avoid any motion blur when shooting handheld with telephoto focal lengths.
