Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at 400 mm focal length, the long exposure time of 30 seconds combined with ISO 100 ensures a calm rendering of cloud movement with high detail. The very narrow aperture of f/45 allows for deliberate control of light intake to capture the golden atmosphere.
- Use a long exposure time to capture the dynamics of the clouds around the rock formations softly.
- Choose a low ISO sensitivity to minimize image noise during long exposure.
- Use a long focal length to isolate the summit detail effectively.
