Photography tips
How this image was taken
This daylight shot uses an aperture of f/9 to ensure sharpness across the rugged rock formations and the vast landscape. A shutter speed of 1/200 s paired with ISO 200 results in a crisp image without motion blur under these light conditions.
- Use a wide-angle lens like 21 mm to capture the scale of the peaks and the surrounding mountain landscape.
- Select a medium aperture like f/9 to keep both nearby rock structures and distant mountains in focus.
- Pay attention to the leading lines of the mountain ridge in your composition to emphasize the depth of the scenery.
