Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, an aperture of f/14 ensures deep focus, while the shutter speed of 1/320 s freezes the train's motion. The ISO 640 balances the lighting conditions for the selected focal length of 236 mm.
- Use a smaller aperture to ensure both the train and the textures of the rock face remain sharp.
- Choose a fast shutter speed to capture the dynamics of the vehicle clearly, despite the long focal length.
- Experiment with framing when using telephoto lenses to highlight the contrast between the technical vehicle and the natural mountain landscape.
