Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this tunnel shot, the wide aperture of f/3.2 ensures sufficient light intake, while the shutter speed of 1/80 s avoids blur when shooting handheld. The low ISO of 200 keeps image noise minimal in the dark rock areas.
- Use a short focal length like 12 mm to capture the narrow path expansively.
- Focus on the natural light at the end of the tunnel to emphasize the misty atmosphere.
- Choose a position that uses the dark rock structure as a frame for the bright exit.
