Photography tips

How this image was taken

In this shot, the long shutter speed of 4 seconds and the low ISO of 100 achieve a noise-free image despite the fading evening light, while the small aperture of f/36 ensures consistent depth of field.

  • Use a long shutter speed to capture the calm mood of the twilight.
  • Choose a low ISO value to obtain a clear image without distracting noise.
  • Experiment with the aperture to control the sharpness across the entire mountain massif.
