Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot during the setting sun, an aperture of f/13 was chosen to achieve a deep depth of field, while the 18 mm focal length allows for a wide field of view. The shutter speed of 1/60 s at ISO 500 enables you to capture the nuances of the sunset light.
- Use a stopped-down aperture like f/13 to ensure both the building and the surrounding mountain scenery are in focus.
- Employ a short focal length in the wide-angle range to effectively capture the scale of the alpine landscape.
- Balance your ISO sensitivity to manage image noise while maintaining an appropriate shutter speed for the available evening light.
