Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, the shutter speed of 1/100 s combined with a 12 mm focal length ensures a sharp image despite the moving gondola, while the aperture of f/5.6 separates the subject from the fog. The low ISO of 200 keeps the dark forest areas clean and free of noise.
- Use a wide angle lens to capture the vastness of the fog and the forest landscape.
- Focus on the composition by using the cable car lines to guide the viewer's eye into the frame.
- Select a medium aperture to keep the gondola in focus while emphasizing the depth of the foggy scene.
