Photography tips
How this image was taken
On this clear summer day, the aperture of f/16 provides a deep depth of field, while the ISO 200 setting ensures high image quality in daylight. A shutter speed of 1/200 s combined with the 100 mm focal length allowed for a precise capture of the mountain massif.
- Use a closed aperture like f/16 to achieve a deep depth of field in landscape photography.
- Select a medium focal length of around 100 mm to bring the mountain subject closer and highlight details.
- Keep your ISO low in bright daylight to ensure a clean image without noise.
