Photography tips

How this image was taken

With an aperture of f/10 and a focal length of 45 mm, you achieve sufficient depth of field to clearly depict both the texture of the rocks and the fog. The shutter speed of 1/400 s ensures a sharp capture of the drifting cloud formations in this situation.

  • Pay attention to precise exposure when shooting in fog to ensure details in the bright cloud areas are preserved.
  • Use a moderate aperture to maintain a balance between the sharpness of the rock structures and the softness of the fog.
  • Experiment with composition to deliberately use prominent rock edges as anchor points within the foggy scenery.
