Photography tips

How this image was taken

This shot at 214 mm focal length uses a small aperture of f/25 to achieve a large depth of field, while the shutter speed of 1/250 s minimizes motion blur. An ISO of 800 balances the lighting conditions for the chosen aperture to capture the low-lying light precisely.

• Use a long focal length to highlight distant architectural details within the winter landscape.
• Experiment with settings such as a small aperture to maintain consistent sharpness across the frame.
• Observe the light from the low-lying sun to effectively emphasize textures and contrasts in the snow.
