Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot of Mount Pilatus, a focal length of 248 mm was used to capture the summit details clearly from a distance. The combination of aperture f/7.1 and a shutter speed of 1/400 s provides sufficient depth of field while ensuring a short exposure time to avoid blur at this focal length.
- Use a longer focal length to specifically highlight details in the rock formations.
- Select an aperture like f/7.1 to find a good balance between sharpness and shutter speed.
- Pay attention to the evening light, as the low sun enhances the contours and textures in the rock.
