Photography tips

How this image was taken

In this shot, the aperture of f/16 provides deep focus, while the shutter speed of 1/125 s and ISO 500 ensure balanced exposure under the low winter sun.

  • Use a small aperture like f/16 to keep the entire snow-covered landscape in focus from the foreground to Mount Pilatus.
  • Choose a moderate ISO like 500 to achieve a well-exposed image in the challenging light of the low winter sun.
  • At a focal length of 29 mm, pay attention to intentional composition to balance the walking path and the mountain in your frame.
