Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, the long exposure of 30 s ensures a smooth rendering of the moving clouds, while the aperture of f/16 allows for deep focus. The ISO 400 setting balances the remaining available light during dusk.
- Use a long exposure to capture the movement of clouds in the evening sky as a smooth flow.
- Choose a narrow aperture like f/16 to ensure high depth of field across the snow-covered mountain ridge.
- Use a focal length of 200 mm to isolate the summit and the illuminated buildings from the mountain mass.
