Key tips

  1. Utilize an ultra-wide-angle lens to effectively capture the expansive scale of the mountain scenery.
  2. Use a fast wide-angle lens to include both the vast expanse of the sky and the landscape.
  3. Use a wide-angle lens with a focal length of 15 mm to harmoniously capture the vastness of the sky along with the building.
