Photography tips
How this image was taken
A small aperture of f/32 was used for this shot to achieve a deep depth of field, ranging from the rocky foreground to the distant lake. The shutter speed of 1/60 s, combined with ISO 320, ensured a balanced exposure under the prevailing lighting conditions.
- Choose a small aperture such as f/32 to keep both the rock structures in the foreground and the background in focus.
- Pay attention to the 30 mm focal length to capture a natural field of view that includes both architecture and landscape.
- Use shifting clouds to intentionally create depth in the mountain scenery through light and shadow.
