Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, an aperture of f/10 provides sufficient depth of field to keep both the rock formations and the train sharp, while ISO 200 keeps image noise to a minimum. The shutter speed of 1/100 s is fast enough to capture the train clearly in this situation.
- Use a mid-range aperture like f/10 to ensure balanced sharpness throughout the entire scene.
- Choose a moderate focal length of 45 mm to make the proportions between the train and the massive mountain landscape appear natural.
- Pay attention to the contrast between the red train and the mist to intentionally highlight the main subject within the composition.
