Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, the 400 mm focal length allowed for a strong compression of the scene, while the 1/500 s shutter speed combined with f/8 aperture and ISO 400 provided a balanced exposure of the sunset.
- Use a long focal length to make distant mountain ranges appear large in your frame.
- Select a moderate aperture like f/8 to ensure sharp imaging.
- Keep an eye on your shutter speed to avoid camera shake when using high focal lengths.
