Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at a 100 mm focal length, a small aperture of f/25 was chosen to achieve high depth of field despite the telephoto focal length. The shutter speed of 1/125 s at ISO 400 ensures sufficient exposure of the snow-covered scenery.
- Use a small aperture to capture details in the snow-covered forest and the distant rock formations with equal sharpness.
- Pay attention to the placement of the sun in the frame to capture targeted light reflections in the treetops.
- Choose a medium ISO setting to maintain sufficient flexibility for your shutter speed in the challenging lighting conditions of the forest.
