Photography tips

How this image was taken

Using a focal length of 22 mm and an aperture of f/7.1 allows for a balanced depth of field, keeping the alpine flowers in the foreground sharp. The ISO 100 ensures noise-free image quality at this shutter speed of 1/500 s.

  • Choose a low perspective to position the flowers directly against the background of the mountain landscape.
  • Use a wide-angle lens to emphasize the contrast between the small detail in the foreground and the expansive surroundings.
  • In your composition, place the flowers so that the rock face acts as a natural frame.
