Wide-angle Lens and The Tripod

yosemite_may-lake2When you use a wide-angle lens to capture a panorama shot, watch out for the distortion sometimes caused by such a wide-angle lens. Generally, the width of the lens and the generally slow aperture needed for some shots can create minor issues with the overall photo quality. Secondly, a larger lens can make your camera awkward or unbalanced; the shaking of your hand can ruin a good photo.  Though there are several ways to compensate for this, one of the simplest ways to compensate for this to use a tripod.

Can You Really Say Good and Blurry In The Same Sentence?

f-16When is a blurred picture good? When you want to show movement, perhaps the blur of a pitcher’s arm as he throws a pitch or a racecar crossing the finish line. Reset the shutter speed to a slower setting. This will allow motion to be captured and your camera captures the image.
