Photography tips

How this image was taken

This image was captured at a focal length of 400 mm, with the short shutter speed of 1/640 s effectively minimizing motion blur. The aperture of f/8 ensures solid depth of field across the distance, while ISO 160 guarantees good image quality in the given light conditions.

  • Choose a short shutter speed to avoid camera shake at high focal lengths.
  • Use a medium aperture like f/8 for an even rendering of structures.
  • Pay attention to a high camera position during aerial shots to perfectly capture the geometric shapes of the track layout.
