Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/11 provides sufficient depth of field for both the hotel and the surrounding rocks, while a shutter speed of 1/640 s helps minimize motion blur at a focal length of 400 mm.
- Use a long focal length to compress architectural details against the prominent rock landscape.
- Select a narrow aperture like f/11 to ensure the depth of field needed for sharp textures in the building and rocks.
- Maintain a fast enough shutter speed to ensure a sharp image free of camera shake when shooting at long focal lengths.
