Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this image, the shutter speed of 1/250 s allowed for a precise capture of the chapel, while the aperture of f/6.3 provides balanced depth of field in combination with the 130 mm focal length. The ISO 250 setting ensures a clean image in these lighting conditions.

  • Select a medium telephoto focal length for this perspective to bring the subject closer from a distance.
  • Pay attention to an adequate shutter speed when shooting in fog to avoid motion blur despite the challenging lighting.
  • Use a mid-range aperture to clearly capture the details of the rock formations and the chapel.
