Photography tips
How this image was taken
This image was captured using a 400 mm focal length and an aperture of f/32 to reveal fine details in the distant mountain ridges. The shutter speed of 1/40 s combined with ISO 400 provided a balanced exposure under the low-lying light.
- Use a long focal length to optically bring distant mountain peaks closer.
- Select a small aperture if you want to achieve a deep depth of field for the entire mountain range.
- Pay attention to steady camera handling when shooting at 400 mm to avoid motion blur despite the 1/40 s shutter speed.
