Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at a 400 mm focal length, the fast shutter speed of 1/1000 s ensures sharp rendering of the moving clouds, while the aperture of f/25 and ISO 800 balance the lighting conditions during the golden evening light.
- Use a fast shutter speed to freeze the fine details of the moving cloud structures.
- Select a long focal length to isolate the summit region as a highly compressed subject from the background.
- Pay attention to your aperture selection to maintain correct exposure in the evening light despite a small aperture.
