Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this image, the f/22 aperture provides a large depth of field, while the ISO 200 and 1/80 s shutter speed ensure a crisp capture in daylight.
- Use a wide-angle focal length, such as 21 mm, to capture the vastness of the sea of clouds and the scale of the rock formations.
- Choose a small aperture to maintain depth of field from the foreground rocks to the distant horizon.
- Carefully consider the composition by positioning the cable car as a focal point in relation to the massive mountain station.
