Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, the aperture of f/8 provides sufficient depth of field, while the shutter speed of 1/320 s at 200 mm focal length keeps the chapel details sharp. An ISO of 800 helps to capture the fading evening light clearly despite the long focal length.
- Use a telephoto focal length of 200 mm to isolate the chapel from the background and bring the subject closer.
- Pay attention to correct exposure when shooting in snow to ensure the textures of the rocky terrain remain visible.
- Select an aperture of f/8 for balanced sharpness if you want to capture both the architecture and the distance of the mountain panorama.
