Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot was taken with an aperture of f/11 to keep both the rock formations and the fog in focus, while the shutter speed of 1/200 s allowed for a sufficiently fast exposure at ISO 200. This combination ensures a clear depiction of the fine structures in the changing light.
- Use a mid-range aperture like f/11 to achieve a deep depth of field and capture both the rock faces and cloud formations in detail.
- Pay attention to the light conditions when photographing fog to make the forested slopes stand out from the rest of the rock.
- Use a focal length of around 45 mm to capture the rock faces from a distance and focus the composition on the essential elements.
