Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at 18 mm focal length, a small aperture of f/20 was used to achieve high depth of field across the entire mountain range. The ISO value of 800 allowed for a shutter speed of 1/80 s despite the small aperture, capturing the evening light effectively.
- Use a small aperture to ensure sharpness from the nearby rock formations to the distant landscape.
- Choose a wide-angle focal length to capture the vastness of the mountain scenery.
- Pay attention to ISO settings when shooting in evening light to maintain a shutter speed suitable for sharp results.
