Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this image, an aperture of f/25 was chosen to create the distinct sunburst effect through the treetops. The 100 mm focal length compresses the scene, while the shutter speed of 1/125 s and ISO 640 ensure a balanced exposure in these lighting conditions.
- Use a small aperture to create the characteristic sunburst effect when shooting directly into the light.
- Choose a longer focal length to visually compress the snow-covered forest against the background of Mount Pilatus.
- Pay attention to exposure when shooting snow to maintain detail in the bright white areas.
