Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, a focal length of 200 mm was used to compress the mountain massif, while the aperture of f/22 ensures a deep depth of field. The low ISO of 125 and a shutter speed of 1/100 s allow for a steady capture of the silhouette in the evening light.
- Use a telephoto lens to optically bring the mountain closer and distinctly frame the silhouette.
- Use manual exposure mode to meter on the bright sky, intentionally underexposing the foreground.
- Choose a small aperture to capture the structure of the contours precisely.
