Photography tips

How this image was taken

Using a focal length of 19 mm and a small aperture of f/22 helps you achieve a deep depth of field, keeping everything from the foreground rock to the Hotel Bellevue and the peaks in focus.

  • Use a wide-angle lens like 19 mm to capture the foreground rock, the Hotel Bellevue, and the distant sea of clouds.
  • Select a small aperture like f/22 to ensure sharp focus throughout the entire image from foreground to background.
  • Use a prominent rock in the foreground to create a frame and add depth to your composition.
