Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot, an aperture of f/14 was used to achieve a deep depth of field, while the 12 mm focal length opens up the field of view. The shutter speed of 1/30 s combined with ISO 200 ensures an appropriate exposure in this foggy environment.
- Use the railing post as a foreground element to create depth and guide the viewer's eye directly into the cave.
- Select a small aperture if you want to capture both the nearby object and the distant cave entrance in focus.
- Use a wide-angle lens to emphasize the rugged surroundings and the expanse of the fog.
