Photography tips
How this image was taken
This image was captured using a 12 mm focal length and an aperture of f/4. The shutter speed of 1/20 s combined with ISO 500 allowed for capturing the fading twilight light without excessive image noise.
- Use a wide-angle lens such as 12 mm to encompass the scale of the mountain and the Kulm hotel.
- Select an open aperture like f/4 to ensure sufficient light reaches the sensor in these lighting conditions.
- Maintain a steady hold at a shutter speed of 1/20 s to avoid blurriness in the landscape and building details.
