Photography tips
How this image was taken
An aperture of f/18 was chosen for this shot to ensure deep focus from the foreground to Mount Pilatus in the background. The shutter speed of 1/200 s allows for a sharp image amidst the varying lighting conditions within the snowy forest.
- Use a small aperture like f/18 when aiming for consistent sharpness across a deeply snow-covered landscape.
- Pay attention to the sunstar effect when shooting with direct sunlight through trees, which can be enhanced by a small aperture.
- Select a prominent foreground, such as individual snow-covered fir trees, to lead the eye towards the mountain.
