Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/16 provides a deep depth of field, keeping both the rock frame and the hotel sharp, while the 1/80 s shutter speed ensures a crisp image. The ISO of 500 balances the exposure under challenging backlight conditions.
- Use a natural frame like the rock tunnel to focus the viewer's eye and create visual depth.
- Select a small aperture when shooting into the sun to create a distinct sunstar effect on the rock edges.
- Utilize a 13 mm wide-angle focal length to emphasize the contrast between the dark foreground and the bright alpine scenery.
