Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at a focal length of 400 mm, the short shutter speed of 1/200 s enabled a sharp depiction of the mountain peaks, while the f/16 aperture ensures consistent depth of field within the chosen frame.
- Use a long focal length to represent distant summits in isolation.
- Choose a closed aperture to capture the fine textures in the cloud formations clearly.
- Ensure a short shutter speed to avoid camera shake during high magnification.
