Photography tips
How this image was taken
For this shot at 400 mm focal length, the fast shutter speed of 1/800 s ensures the movement is captured sharply, while the aperture of f/11 provides sufficient depth of field in the rocky terrain.
- Select a fast shutter speed to freeze the animal's movement even when using long focal lengths.
- Use a moderate aperture to ensure both the subject and the immediate surroundings remain in focus.
- Pay attention to your ISO settings based on the available light to maintain a fast shutter speed for moving subjects.
