Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using a focal length of 135 mm brings the mountain massif closer, while an aperture of f/8 provides sufficient depth of field. The ISO 400 combined with a shutter speed of 1/50 s allows for proper exposure in these challenging light conditions.
- Use a telephoto focal length like 135 mm to emphasize details of the snow-covered peak.
- Select an aperture of f/8 to capture the mountain textures clearly.
- Ensure a balanced exposure in fading evening light to preserve the colors of the sky.
