Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using a focal length of 400 mm allowed you to capture the subject from a large distance, while the aperture of f/8 and shutter speed of 1/640 s ensure a sharp image of the animals in the rocky terrain.
- Use a long focal length to capture animals in difficult terrain from a safe distance.
- Select a sufficiently fast shutter speed to freeze any movement of the animals.
- Pay attention to the aperture setting to maintain enough depth of field for the animals to stand out against the textured background.
