Photography tips
How this image was taken
With a shutter speed of 1/125 s and an aperture of f/6.3, sufficient depth of field was achieved for both the trains and the environment, while ISO 400 ensured proper exposure under the given lighting conditions. The 45 mm focal length provides a natural perspective.
- Choose a vantage point that utilizes the leading lines of the tracks to guide the viewer's eye toward the trains.
- When photographing moving subjects like trains, ensure your shutter speed is fast enough to prevent motion blur.
- Use a moderate aperture to ensure both the technical infrastructure in the foreground and the trains remain in focus.
