Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at 400 mm focal length, an aperture of f/14 ensures depth of field across the rocky formations, while the shutter speed of 1/160 s combined with an ISO of 1600 captures sufficient brightness in the fading evening light.
- Use a long focal length to isolate the mountain massif and capture it in a large scale.
- Select a smaller aperture to maintain detailed definition in the rock structure even at a great distance.
- Monitor your ISO settings in low light to maintain a shutter speed that is fast enough to ensure a sharp image, especially when using telephoto lenses.
