Photography tips
How this image was taken
With a focal length of 225 mm, you bring the shy animals close, while the short shutter speed of 1/500 s ensures a clear image of their movement. The aperture of f/11 also allows you to achieve sufficient depth of field to capture the ibexes clearly within the rocky terrain.
- Choose a short shutter speed for wildlife photography so you can capture movement sharply at any time.
- Use a medium telephoto lens to maintain distance and avoid disturbing the animals in their natural behavior.
- Pay attention to a closed aperture if you want to render both the animals and the texture of their surroundings in focus.
