Photography tips

How this image was taken

Using a shutter speed of 1/500 s allows you to freeze the motion of the train precisely, while the aperture of f/5.6 and ISO 250 ensure balanced exposure in daylight conditions.

  • Choose a fast shutter speed to capture the moving train sharply.
  • Use a medium focal length like 128 mm to bring the train in the steep rock face closer.
  • Pay attention to a balanced aperture to make the subject stand out clearly against the surroundings.
