Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at 200 mm focal length, a small aperture of f/20 was used to achieve high detail with a shutter speed of 1/8 s. The ISO 400 setting ensures a balanced exposure for the silhouette under these lighting conditions.
- Use a small aperture when you want to capture fine details in a silhouette under challenging light.
- Select a longer shutter speed to gather sufficient light from the high-contrast evening sky.
- Use a telephoto focal length like 200 mm to bring the mountain closer to the evening sky in your composition.
