Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using a focal length of 141 mm allows you to highlight the cable car as the main subject, while an aperture of f/6.3 provides balanced depth of field. A shutter speed of 1/320 s at ISO 100 ensures a sharp capture of the fast movement against the bright backdrop.
- Use a longer focal length to compress the distance between the cable car and the distant peaks.
- Ensure a fast shutter speed to freeze the motion of the cable car without blur.
- Adjust your aperture to maintain detail in both the moving vehicle and the surrounding snow-covered terrain.
