Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot with 400 mm focal length, the aperture of f/16 ensures consistent sharpness, while the shutter speed of 1/200 s provides a sufficiently short exposure for this distance. An ISO of 1000 compensates for the decreasing light of the low sun.
- Use a long focal length to specifically highlight details of the rock peaks.
- Choose a closed aperture to capture the structures of the mountain massif in focus across the entire area.
- Ensure a sufficiently fast shutter speed when using telephoto lenses to avoid motion blur.
