Photography tips
How this image was taken
With a shutter speed of 1/1250 s, you are able to freeze the motion of the cable car precisely, while the f/8 aperture ensures sufficient depth of field to capture the rugged surroundings in focus. The ISO setting of 1250 allowed for a proper exposure at the 400 mm focal length despite the fast shutter speed.
- Select a fast shutter speed to freeze the movement of the aerial cableway in your shot.
- Use a medium aperture like f/8 to keep both the subject and the surrounding mountains in focus.
- Utilize a long focal length to capture the details of the cable car against the steep rock faces in a compressed perspective.
