Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using a focal length of 325 mm brings the cogwheel railway close, while an aperture of f/14 ensures sufficient depth of field across the rocky terrain. A shutter speed of 1/500 s, paired with an ISO of 1000, ensures a sharp capture of the moving train.
- Select a fast shutter speed to freeze the motion of the train.
- Use a narrow aperture to keep the textures of the rocky landscape sharp throughout.
- Choose a long focal length to compress the perspective, embedding the train into the steep mountain slope.
