Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot in low light was captured with an open aperture of f/2 and an ISO of 2500 to gather enough light despite the short shutter speed of 1/60 s. The 12 mm focal length allowed for a wide view across the entire landscape.
- Use a fast aperture when shooting in challenging lighting conditions without additional support.
- Choose a short shutter speed to avoid motion blur when shooting handheld.
- Experiment with a wide-angle lens to capture a comprehensive perspective in landscape photography.
