Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot at 400mm focal length uses an aperture of f/8 and a fast shutter speed of 1/800s to sharply capture the mountain massif at a low ISO 160.
- Use a long focal length to bring the subject closer and focus on details of the mountain above the fog.
- Select a mid-range aperture like f/8 to achieve good image quality across the entire frame.
- Pay attention to your shutter speed when using long lenses; at 400mm, a fast speed like 1/800s helps to minimize camera shake.
