Photography tips
How this image was taken
With a focal length of 400 mm, the shutter speed of 1/80 s ensures a steady capture of details, while the aperture of f/16 allows for significant depth of field.
- Use a long focal length to capture distant mountain structures in a frame-filling way.
- Choose a closed aperture like f/16 to precisely depict the details of the rock formations in the snow.
- Look for the soft light of the low sun to highlight the contours of the mountain.
