Key tips

  1. Use a moderate ISO setting in fading light to retain details in the mountain massif.
  2. Select a smaller aperture to maintain image quality despite the high ISO required for night shots.
  3. Pay close attention to image noise and detail preservation in dark areas when working with high ISO settings.
