Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at 400 mm focal length, an aperture of f/14 provides high detail in the rock structures, while the ISO 1600 enables a sufficiently fast shutter speed of 1/200 s to prevent motion blur despite the fading evening light.
- Use a long focal length to isolate and bring distant mountain formations closer to the viewer.
- Select a narrow aperture like f/14 when you want to achieve maximum depth of field across the mountain range.
- Adjust your ISO sensitivity to maintain a fast shutter speed in fading light, effectively minimizing the risk of blur.
