Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot was taken with a focal length of 24 mm and an aperture of f/18 to capture the vast mountain landscape with a deep depth of field. The high ISO of 25600 was necessary to ensure sufficient exposure during the sunset at a shutter speed of 1/60 s.
- Use a small aperture like f/18 when you want to keep both the foreground and the distant horizon in focus.
- Use a focal length of 24 mm to capture the expanse of the mountain panorama effectively.
- Pay attention to the balance between ISO and shutter speed during sunset to maintain sharpness in low-light conditions.
