Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot was taken with an aperture of f/14 to keep both the rock face and the cable car in sharp focus. The shutter speed of 1/200 s at ISO 200 ensures a clear rendering of the subject without motion blur.
- Use a stopped-down aperture like f/14 to achieve great depth of field, keeping both the gondola and the rocks rich in detail.
- Select a sufficiently fast shutter speed to freeze the movement of the gondola precisely.
- Pay attention to the leading lines of the cables in your composition to guide the viewer's eye towards the gondola.
