Photography tips
How this image was taken
With a focal length of 335 mm, you bring the subject close, while the shutter speed of 1/640 s freezes the drifting snow. The aperture of f/8, combined with an ISO of 125, ensures a clear depiction of the rock formations in the golden light.
- Use a fast shutter speed to sharply capture the movement of the snow in the wind.
- Select a mid-range aperture like f/8 for detailed rock formations.
- Focus on the soft evening light to emphasize the contrasts between illuminated areas and shadows.
