Photography tips
How this image was taken
When photographing Mount Pilatus in the evening light, an aperture of f/11 ensures good depth of field, while a shutter speed of 1/320 s at ISO 400 is sufficient for capturing the snow-covered rock formations clearly handheld.
- Use an aperture of f/11 to achieve consistent sharpness in landscape shots.
- Pay attention to your settings for ISO to balance image noise and shutter speed as the evening light fades.
- Choose a focal length of 50 mm for a natural perspective of the mountain, which closely approximates the human field of view.
