Photography tips

How this image was taken

Using a fast shutter speed of 1/800 s and an aperture of f/6.3 allowed you to capture the chapel sharply while maintaining the dynamic movement of the passing fog. An ISO of 200 ensures clean image quality under the prevailing light conditions.

  • Use a fast shutter speed to freeze the texture of the moving fog clouds.
  • Choose a moderate aperture to keep the subject in focus while emphasizing the spatial relationship between the mountain and the chapel.
  • Observe the interaction between the fog and the architecture to highlight the scale of the landscape.
