Photography tips
How this image was taken
This twilight shot uses a wide aperture of f/2 to capture enough light in low conditions, while the shutter speed of 1/6 s requires a steady hand.
- Choose a wide aperture like f/2 to keep the shutter speed short in fading light.
- Use a focal length of 22 mm to capture the expanse of the sky and the silhouette of the mountain.
- Pay attention to a stable hold at a shutter speed of 1/6 s to avoid blur despite the chosen ISO 800.
