Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot captured in fog, an aperture of f/8 provides sufficient depth of field, while the fast shutter speed of 1/800 s at 300 mm focal length helps to freeze the movement of the gondola precisely. The low ISO of 100 ensures clean image quality despite the diffuse lighting conditions.
- Use a telephoto focal length to compress the distance between the pylon and the gondola within the fog.
- Choose a fast shutter speed to capture the moving gondola sharply.
- Focus on the composition to intentionally place the red gondola as a color accent within the frame.
