Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, a focal length of 15 mm was used to capture the scale of the mountain massif. The aperture of f/18, combined with a fast shutter speed of 1/800 s and ISO 400, ensures a deep depth of field, keeping both the rock formations in the foreground and the building in sharp focus.
- Use a wide-angle lens to emphasize the dimensions of the mountain massif in relation to the building.
- Select a narrow aperture if you want to keep both nearby rocks and distant mountain sections in sharp focus.
- Monitor the cloud movement to capture the ideal moment when the building's architecture is best contrasted against the rock face.
