Photography tips
How this image was taken
With a focal length of 20 mm, you capture the expanse of the mountain landscape, while the narrow aperture of f/22 ensures continuous depth of field from the foreground ridge to the summit. The shutter speed of 1/60 s at ISO 200 allows you to obtain a detailed image despite the challenging lighting conditions within the fog.
- Use a wide-angle lens like 20 mm to capture both the rocky summit ridge and the surrounding banks of fog in a single composition.
- Select a narrow aperture like f/22 if you want to achieve high depth of field, so that both the textures in the foreground and the summit appear sharp.
- When shooting in fog, focus on a calm image composition by placing striking rock formations as a visual anchor point in the frame.
