Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, the small aperture of f/22 ensures deep depth of field, while the 19 mm focal length emphasizes the vastness of the alpine landscape.
- Use a small aperture to keep both the foreground path and the distant sea of clouds in sharp focus.
- Employ a wide-angle lens to capture the steep rock face and the expansive depth of the clouds effectively.
- Maintain steady handling at a low ISO of 100, as the shutter speed of 1/60 s requires careful framing under bright daylight.
