Photography tips
How this image was taken
This image was captured using a 15mm focal length and an aperture of f/13 to ensure the expansive terrace and the surrounding clouds remain sharp throughout. The fast shutter speed of 1/2000 s freezes the motion of the clouds, while the ISO 500 setting maintains balanced exposure.
- Use a wide-angle lens to capture both the architectural details of the building and the vast mountain landscape.
- Select a narrow aperture such as f/13 to achieve deep depth of field from the foreground to the distant peaks.
- Adjust your shutter speed to be sufficiently fast to freeze the movement of clouds and maintain crisp image quality.
