Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot was taken with a 12 mm focal length and an aperture of f/20 to achieve deep focus from the foreground to the horizon. The ISO setting of 5000 allowed for a shutter speed of 1/60 s despite the small aperture, capturing the final light of the sunset.
- Use an ultra-wide-angle lens around 12 mm to capture the expanse of the mountain landscape and the hotel buildings.
- Select a small aperture like f/20 if you aim for consistent sharpness from the foreground to the background.
- Pay attention to the balance between ISO and shutter speed in low light conditions to ensure a correct exposure of the scene.
