Photography tips

How this image was taken

For this shot, a focal length of 12 mm was used to capture the scale of the building within the thick fog. The aperture of f/8 provides sufficient depth of field, while ISO 200 and a shutter speed of 1/100 s ensure a clear exposure under these lighting conditions.

  • Use a wide-angle lens to capture both the building and the surrounding vastness in the fog.
  • Select a mid-range aperture like f/8 to keep the entire facade in focus.
  • Pay attention to exposure compensation in snowy conditions to prevent the bright areas from becoming overexposed.
