Photography tips

How this image was taken

With a focal length of 15 mm, you were able to capture the expansive view from the Pilatus, while aperture f/5.6 and ISO 100 at a shutter speed of 1/640 s allowed for a precise depiction of the bright mountain landscape.

  • Use a wide-angle lens to emphasize the contrast between the near rock foreground and the vast sea of fog.
  • Select a low ISO setting like ISO 100 to achieve high image quality without disturbing noise in the bright snow and fog areas.
  • Ensure a fast shutter speed to achieve a correct exposure without overexposure even in strong daylight.
