Photography tips

How this image was taken

With a shutter speed of 1/800 s and an aperture of f/7.1 at ISO 200, you were able to precisely freeze the movement of the clouds around the chapel while maintaining focus across the entire slope.

  • Select a mid-range aperture to ensure both the building and the rock texture are captured sharply.
  • Use a fast shutter speed if you want to freeze dynamic weather phenomena like shifting fog or cloud patches.
  • Maintain a low ISO in changing lighting conditions to preserve image quality and prevent noise in the bright cloud areas.
