Photography tips

How this image was taken

In this bright daylight, the combination of an aperture of f/9 and a fast shutter speed of 1/1250 s ensures deep focus and clear details across the vast landscape. The ISO 400 setting allowed for reliable exposure while shooting handheld.

  • Use a wide-angle lens with a focal length of around 15 mm to capture the full extent of the panorama.
  • Select a mid-range aperture like f/9 to keep both the foreground and distant peaks in focus.
  • Ensure a fast shutter speed to maintain a sharp image of the landscape without motion blur when shooting wide views.
