Photography tips
How this image was taken
With a focal length of 400 mm, the shutter speed of 1/400 s ensures a sharp image without motion blur. The aperture of f/8 allows for good detail in the silhouette, while the ISO of 400 provides the necessary sensitivity for the warm sunset light.
- Use a telephoto lens with a long focal length to magnify distant subjects like the Pilatus.
- Choose a shutter speed that is at least the reciprocal of the focal length to minimize camera shake.
- Pay attention to the exposure for the sunset atmosphere to naturally capture the orange and violet tones.
