Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at a focal length of 400 mm, the fast shutter speed of 1/640 s ensures a crisp image without motion blur, while the aperture of f/8 provides sufficient depth of field for the distant rock formations.
- Use a long focal length like 400 mm to compress distant summits within the cloud layer.
- Choose a fast shutter speed to obtain a sharp image without camera shake despite the high focal length.
- Use a medium aperture of f/8 to precisely capture the details of the mountain peaks.
