Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, a long shutter speed of 30 seconds was used to soften the movement of the fog, while the 400 mm focal length brings Mount Pilatus closer. The small aperture of f/45, combined with ISO 100, ensures a controlled exposure in this intense light.
- Use a long shutter speed to capture the motion of fog and clouds in a smooth, flowing way.
- Employ a high focal length to isolate details of the snow-covered mountains.
- Select a low ISO setting to maintain high image quality during a long exposure.
