Photography tips
How this image was taken
With an aperture of f/8, you achieve good depth of field to capture the details of the rock formations, while the shutter speed of 1/100 s maintains sharpness at a focal length of 300 mm. The low ISO of 200 ensures high image quality during the evening light conditions.
- Use a long focal length to bring distant subjects like the summit region closer and emphasize the textures of the rocks.
- Select an aperture of f/8 to achieve consistent sharpness throughout the image.
- Pay attention to the evening light to capture the orange tint of the clouds as they drift around the peaks.
