Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this image, a shutter speed of 5 seconds and an aperture of f/40 were selected at ISO 100 to capture the mood of the evening light. The high f-number and long exposure allow for a steady rendering of the silhouette.
- Use a telephoto focal length, such as the 200 mm used here, to frame the mountain silhouette effectively.
- Keep your ISO setting low to ensure the violet evening light is captured with minimal noise.
- Adjust the shutter speed carefully to balance the exposure between the dark silhouette and the coloured sky.
