Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, the combination of a closed aperture of f/22 and a shutter speed of 1/4 s provides deep focus within the dark cave, while the ISO of 200 keeps image noise to a minimum. The 12 mm focal length creates a wide-angle effect that emphasizes the narrowness of the path.
- Use a small aperture to achieve a deep depth of field from the foreground rocks to the cave exit.
- Select a longer shutter speed to capture enough light despite the dim conditions inside the cave.
- Use a short focal length to highlight the dimensions of the path and the spatial depth of the cave.
