Photography tips

How this image was taken

This shot at 400 mm focal length uses a fast shutter speed of 1/800 s to keep the subject sharp, while the f/9 aperture ensures good detail across the frame.

  • Use a sufficiently fast shutter speed to avoid camera shake when working with long focal lengths.
  • Choose a medium aperture to ensure the entire rock massif is captured with consistent sharpness.
  • Pay attention to small details in mountain photography, such as the aerial cable car, to provide a sense of scale against the massive rock face.
