Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, an aperture of f/11 and a shutter speed of 1/2500 s were chosen to ensure deep depth of field and a fast exposure time. The ISO of 1600 allowed for a balanced exposure of the rocky features under the prevailing lighting conditions.
- Use a stopped-down aperture like f/11 to capture the details of the rock structure clearly across the entire image.
- Use a fast shutter speed to ensure a sharp image of the mountain forms, even when shooting handheld.
- Observe the light, which helps to emphasize the texture of the rocks and creates depth.
