Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, a focal length of 17 mm captured the expansive view, while an aperture of f/20 ensures great depth of field. The shutter speed of 1/60 s combined with an ISO of 1250 allows for handheld shooting even as the evening light fades.
- Use a small aperture like f/20 to keep both the foreground and the hotel in focus.
- Choose a wide-angle focal length to emphasize the scale of the mountain landscape.
- Adjust your ISO setting to achieve a properly exposed image at faster shutter speeds, despite the low evening light.
