Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this image, a shutter speed of 1/500 s, an aperture of f/8, and an ISO of 320 were used to capture the fast movement of the Alpine Chough sharply under good lighting conditions.
- Choose a fast shutter speed to freeze the movement of the bird without motion blur.
- Use a long focal length to capture the bird large in the frame despite the distance.
- Pay attention to your settings and select an aperture that provides enough depth of field for precise focusing.
