Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/20 ensures a high depth of field, keeping both the palm fronds in the foreground and Mount Pilatus in the background in sharp focus. The fast shutter speed of 1/640 s effectively freezes the movement of the leaves in bright daylight.
- Use a long focal length to visually bring the mountain closer to the foreground.
- Select a small aperture to ensure both the foreground and background remain within the depth of field.
- Place a distinct object such as a plant intentionally in the foreground to create depth in your composition.
