Photography tips
How this image was taken
This shot at 400 mm focal length uses a short shutter speed of 1/800 s to avoid motion blur, while the f/11 aperture ensures sufficient depth of field in the rocky terrain.
- Use a short shutter speed of at least 1/800 s to capture the animal sharply while it moves.
- Select a narrow aperture like f/11 so that both the animal and the surrounding rock structures remain clearly visible.
- Adjust the ISO value to ensure a correct exposure despite the short shutter speed and small aperture.
- Use a long focal length of at least 400 mm to photograph from a distance and avoid disturbing the animal in its habitat.
