Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot with a 400 mm focal length, the shutter speed of 1/640 s ensures a sharp capture of the ibex, while the aperture of f/11 provides sufficient depth of field.
- Choose a fast shutter speed to freeze the animal's movements.
- Use an aperture of f/11 to ensure both the ibex and the surrounding rock are clearly defined.
- Work with a long focal length to capture the subject from a distance without losing detail.
