Photography tips
How this image was taken
A focal length of 83 mm and an aperture of f/5.6 were used to capture the railcar in focus against the massive rock face. The shutter speed of 1/320 s at ISO 160 is sufficient to freeze the movement of the train in daylight.
- Choose a medium focal length to balance the size of the train and the rock face effectively.
- Use a sufficiently short shutter speed to capture the vehicle's movement without motion blur.
- Pay attention to the contrast between the red railcar and the grey rock to clearly emphasize the main subject.
