In this week’s video I discuss how to create sharp images, whether you are hand holding your camera or using a tripod. This may not be the most exciting topic, but it is pretty darn important if you ever want to display your images as anything but a low-res Facebook photo or a 4″ x 6″ print. In this case I’m not talking about out of focus images, but rather images that are a little blurry because the camera moved during exposure. The video describes the techniques necessary to eliminate or compensate for this camera movement.

Nice one JM. I hadn’t thought about mirror lockup or live view in a while, but your advice makes sense…
Great reminders! I shoot a lot of macro photography and a tripod, live view, mirror lockup are critical. A key feature for a tripod is a good ballhead.
