Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this sunset shot, an aperture of f/22 was chosen to achieve deep focus from the foreground to the Hotel Bellevue, while an ISO of 2500 allowed for a shutter speed of 1/60 s despite the fading light.
- Use a wide-angle lens like 24 mm to capture both the alpine plants in the foreground and the expansive mountain scenery.
- Pay attention to the composition by placing a prominent element in the foreground to add depth to the image.
- Use a higher ISO setting in challenging lighting conditions to ensure a fast enough shutter speed for sharp, handheld shots.
