Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at 45 mm and f/7.1, a shutter speed of 1/40 s was chosen to precisely capture the fading evening light at ISO 500.
- Use aperture f/7.1 to achieve sufficient depth of field for the mountain structures.
- Pay attention to a shutter speed that delivers sharp results in difficult lighting conditions like evening light.
- Adjust the ISO sensitivity to enable a combination of light levels and shutter speed that minimizes image noise.
