Photography tips
How this image was taken
With a focal length of 150 mm, you were able to compress the Pilatus massif and capture the rays of light in a focused way. The shutter speed of 1/500 s allowed for a clear image without blur, while the aperture of f/5.6 let in the optimal amount of light.
- Use a longer focal length to bring distant mountain ranges closer and enhance the spatial effect.
- Watch for the interplay of evening light and clouds to make the characteristic rays of light in the valleys visible.
- Use a wider aperture to maintain a sufficiently fast shutter speed in challenging light conditions.
