Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, a shutter speed of 1/500 s freezes the moving subject, while the aperture of f/11 ensures sufficient depth of field across the rocky terrain. The ISO 1600 provided the necessary light sensitivity for these fast shutter speeds.
- Choose a fast shutter speed like 1/500 s to keep moving trains sharp.
- Use a closed aperture such as f/11 to ensure both the red train and the rock formations are in focus.
- Utilize a long focal length of 214 mm to focus the frame on the vehicle within the mountain landscape.
