Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at 20 mm, an aperture of f/10 was chosen to achieve a large depth of field for the expansive landscape. The shutter speed of 1/60 s, combined with an ISO of 1000, ensured sufficient exposure in the fading evening light.
- Use a small aperture like f/10 to keep both the foreground and the horizon in focus.
- Select a wide focal length of 20 mm to capture the broad landscape perspective.
- Adjust the ISO setting to maintain a fast shutter speed as the available light decreases.
