Photography tips

How this image was taken

By using an aperture of f/22, you achieve a deep depth of field to keep both the foreground flowers and the Pilatus in focus, while the ISO 5000 setting compensates for the low light at a 1/80 s shutter speed.

  • Choose a small aperture like f/22 if you want to ensure sharpness from the flowers to the distant mountain.
  • Pay attention to your foreground choice to create a clear visual layering against the background.
  • Use an ISO setting that allows for a fast enough shutter speed in fading light to minimize motion blur of the flowers caused by the wind.
