Photography tips
How this image was taken
With an aperture of f/11 you achieve a deep depth of field to capture the details of the rock formation in the snow, while the shutter speed of 1/100 s at ISO 200 is sufficient to obtain a sharp image without noise in the given light conditions.
- Pay attention to your settings and work with a closed aperture to best emphasize the textures of the snow-covered rocks.
- Use the perspective to let the depth of the valleys contrast with the peaks, thus strengthening the spatial effect.
- Observe the fog closely and wait for the moment when the layers of visibility settle around the rocks to make the composition appear lively.
