Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using a shutter speed of 1/320 s at ISO 100 helps to freeze the motion of the cable car, while the aperture of f/6.3 ensures sufficient depth of field for the mountain scenery.
- Use a fast shutter speed to keep the movement of the cabin sharp, even at a focal length of 141 mm.
- Select a moderate aperture to isolate the cable car against the sea of fog.
- Keep your ISO low in snowy conditions to maintain clean textures in the bright areas of the image.
