Photography tips

How this image was taken

This shot was taken with an aperture of f/5.6 and a shutter speed of 1/400 s at ISO 100 to achieve a clear image of the snow-covered subject in bright daylight. The 15 mm focal length provides the wide view through the rock window.

  • Use a wide-angle lens to capture both the frame of the rock and the mountain panorama.
  • Pay attention to the choice of perspective so that the rock window naturally directs the gaze toward the snow-covered massif.
  • Select a low ISO setting to ensure high image quality in the bright light conditions of the snow.
