Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot at 45 mm focal length uses a fast shutter speed of 1/2500 s to capture the bright backlight without motion blur, while the aperture of f/5.6 provides sufficient depth of field.
- Pay attention to the exposure when shooting against the light so that the details in the snow-covered rock face are preserved.
- Use the golden moment just before the sun disappears to highlight the contrast between the warm light and the cold shadows in the snow.
- Experiment with the shutter speed to adjust the brightness of the sunset to match the lighting atmosphere.
