Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot with a focal length of 400 mm, the aperture of f/25 ensures a deep depth of field, while the shutter speed of 1/320 s at ISO 800 allows for a sharp image despite the distance.
- Use a long focal length to highlight specific sections of the mountain flank.
- Observe the interaction between the low sunlight and fog to visually separate textures in the snow and forest.
- Choose a small aperture if you want to capture details in distant subjects with a deep depth of field.
