Photography tips

How this image was taken

Using an aperture of f/14 provides deep focus, ensuring that both the nearby leaves and the distant Mount Pilatus are captured in detail. The combination of ISO 200 and 1/125 s results in a balanced exposure under the existing light conditions.

  • Find two trees to act as a frame and direct the viewer's gaze toward the mountain peak.
  • Use a closed aperture like f/14 to maintain deep focus across the entire scene.
  • Apply a focal length of 45 mm for a natural perspective that balances the foreground and the mountain.
