Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/20 creates the distinct sunstar, while the 12 mm focal length emphasizes the vast alpine landscape. The ISO 640, combined with a shutter speed of 1/60 s, ensures a balanced exposure in this bright lighting condition.
- Use a narrow aperture to deliberately capture the sunstar effect.
- Select a wide-angle focal length to use the stone path as a leading line in the foreground.
- Carefully adjust your ISO settings to ensure enough light is captured despite the high f-number.
