Photography tips
How this image was taken
In this shot, the aperture of f/10 provides deep depth of field, while the 12 mm focal length captures the wide perspective of the lake basin. The combination of 1/200 s shutter speed and ISO 500 ensures a sharp image despite the cloudy sky.
- Use a wide-angle lens to fully capture the dimensions of a city landscape.
- Choose a mid-range aperture to keep both the architecture in the foreground and the mountains in the background sharp.
- Pay attention to exposure when snow is present, as bright areas can influence the camera's light metering.
