PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS FOR YOU:
When faced with a great view, it’s easy to start snapping away excitedly without giving the shot the due care and attention it deserves to produce a sharp image. Take time to set the camera up on a tripod. This will slow down your approach, which is no bad thing as it means you can concentrate on optimising all aspects of the shot, including composition. To maximize depth of field for front to back image sharpness, set a small aperture of around f/16. This is especially important when shooting a scene with both foreground and background interest. Also, use a low ISO setting of 100 or 200 for the best image quality. This combination of low ISO and small aperture means that the shutter speed is likely to be quite slow, which is why it’s good to get into the habit of using a tripod. landscape maximum sharpness The Cuillin & Marsco reflected in moorland pool at sunset. Top Tip: To eliminate camera shake use a remote release and mirror lock-up. The latter will prevent any internal vibrations caused by ‘mirror slap’, which can be a problem at slow shutter speeds. If you don’t have a remote release use the 2 second interval timer instead to prevent any camera shake caused by physically pressing the shutter button.
