Photography tips

How this image was taken

Using an aperture of f/14 provides deep focus, while the shutter speed of 1/200 s ensures the moving cable car is captured clearly. The ISO 200 setting maintains good detail in these lighting conditions without introducing noise.

  • Use a closed aperture to ensure both the cable car and the rocky texture of the slope remain sharp.
  • Choose a fast shutter speed to freeze the motion of the car.
  • Position the car within the frame so that it stands out against the landscape or the sky for better contrast.
