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.
