How to take a sharp photo with your camera

Taking good photos is something EVERY photographer want. Are you wishing to take good shots with your camera? Check out the STEPS below.

1. TAKE PICTURES IN RAW
Raw files are images that are not processed yet or not done to be printed out. Taking pictures in RAW has a lot of advantages, you’ll be able to produce high quality images and edit your pictures on Photoshop easily. You can also adjust some settings after shoots, like the sharpness. Raw also helps in correcting image problems that would be unrecoverable if it was taking in jpeg.

2. USE A TRIPOD

Tripod helps in taking good photos. Most tripods have three legs. They are used in holding many objects like the camera. It holds the camera firm (stability) and also has a level of adjustment to take some kind of positioning pictures.

3. SHUTTER SPEED

Shutter speed helps a lot too, you can take motion pictures. It means the time a shutter is open, exposing light into the camera and also for those that don’t have a tripod yet for balancing, you can take pictures in burst mood.
Types of shutter speed settings : 1/500, 1/200, 1/125, 1/60, 1/30 and so on.

4. MAKE USE OF THE LIGHT

Most people prefer the golden tone just like when the sun is setting or rising and most photographers prefer this. This color can be modified by adjusting the white balance of your settings also, if you can’t use the daylight but still want a sharp picture, you can use the camera flash and bounce it of a wall. Take the photo in a way that there was literally a natural lightening.

5. KEEP YOUR LENS CLEAN 

There are different types of camera lenses that can be attached to a camera (some lenses are permanently fixed to a camera). I believe every lens you have should have a cover. A good lens has no good if it has dirt on it. You should always clean the lens before and after use because it can affect the pictures by leaving some noticeable stuff, just like the daily glasses we use, how would you see images if they are covered in dirt ?

6. FOCUS PROPERLY 

When using the focus section, it is either you take off the auto focus or the manual focus. If you choose manually and using a camera on a tripod, you can switch to live view and zoom to who you are taking photo of or anything your taking. If it is a person,  I’ll advice you focus on the eyes so as to get generally acceptable photos.
