Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/7.1 provides sufficient depth of field for this alpine subject, while the shutter speed of 1/800 s at ISO 200 captures the moving fog clearly. The 45 mm focal length offers a balanced perspective of the chapel within the landscape.
- Motion in the fog: Use a fast shutter speed to freeze the fine details of the drifting fog instead of blurring them with a longer exposure.
- Choosing the aperture: A medium aperture like f/7.1 ensures enough depth of field to keep both the chapel and the surrounding rock textures in focus.
- Keep ISO low: In bright daylight, a low ISO setting of 200 helps you maintain high image quality without digital noise.
