Clear Photos

When you go to take a picture, remember these 3 points to get optimum clarity in each picture.

1. Make sure your subject is in focus. If the subject has a face, focus on the eyes.

2. Use a shutter speed that is fast enough for your lens. If your lens length is 50mm than shoot for no less than 1/100 sec. If 75 mm, than no less than 1/150 sec. If 100 mm, than minimum shutter should be 1/200 sec. Get the idea?

2. If a slower shutter speed is required than allowed, place the camera on a solid surface, preferably a tri-pod. If you have the option I also recommend using a cable release.

I will be spending more time on this blog as the weather gets colder. I tend to take lots of photos in the warm months, while I share them and coach you in the cooler months. I look forward to continuing this helps page in the near future.
