Photography tips
How this image was taken
With a shutter speed of 1/200 s, movement is well compensated, while the aperture of f/4 and ISO 400 provide sufficient exposure during the ride through changing light conditions.
- Use a wide-angle focal length of 23 mm to incorporate the train interior as a frame for the view.
- Choose a composition where the window frames provide structure to purposefully frame the landscape.
- Ensure a short shutter speed to capture sharp details in the forested slopes despite the movement of the train.
