Photography tips

How this image was taken

With an aperture of f/13, you achieve good depth of field for the mountain, while the 225 mm focal length visually brings the foreground palm fronds closer to the subject and enhances their blur. ISO 200 combined with a shutter speed of 1/320 s ensures a clear image without noise.

  • Use a telephoto lens to optically compress the foreground and background.
  • Choose a foreground element with distinct shapes that frames the main subject, such as the Pilatus in this example.
  • Position yourself to ensure the foreground object is intentionally blurred to create depth within the image.
