Produces a sharp razor-sharp images is the desire of many photography lovers, and a variety of camera features and additional accessories are created to help us produce this sharp photos. Of the tripod, stabilizer (or camera lens) to the photo editor software is equipped with tools to sharpen the final image.
This article will summarize a few tips for your photos sharper, please:
How to hold the camera
How to hold the camera very influential on the stability of the camera (read: sharpness of the image), read the how to hold a good camera.
Shutter Speed
If you speed up the shutter speed, then you will get a sharp photo. Remember the standard rule for sharp images when you shoot handheld: "use a shutter speed faster than your lens focal length". Like this:
- If the length of your 50mm lens, shoot with a shutter speed of 1/60 second or faster
- If the length of your 100mm lens, use a shutter speed of 1/125 sec or faster
- If the length of your 200mm lens, use a shutter speed of 1/250 sec or faster
Aperture affects the depth of field (area of focus in your photo). Reducing the aperture (increase the number, for example you choose f/22) will add depth of field, meaning that sharp area within the larger picture that includes the near and distant objects, so that the sharpness of the picture as a whole would be reduced.
Then do instead, select a large aperture (small number, eg f / 4), then you will focus sharply only near the focal area. Choose a large aperture that lets you get a faster shutter speed.
ISO
Adding ISO will speed up the shutter speed and lets you choose a larger aperture. If you're shooting indoors, the ISO was larger, but not excessive (eg, select ISO 600 for shooting in the house). select the ISO is too high (above 800), can cause noise (small black spots) in an image began to appear.
Focus
Do not just believe with autofocus camera, check carefully to use the eyes of your eyes are the focal point. When photographing the face at close range, make sure the focus falls diarea eye. When photographing an object, make sure the focus is there where you want the sharpest area. Autofocus camera could be wrong and just drop the next focus of the object you want.
Lens
If you happen to have a SLR camera, choose the best lens you can buy. Good quality lenses can drastically improve the sharpness of your images. KIT lens is usually offered for sale as a complete package with its camera quality is usually poor. My advice, if you will buy a new SLR camera, purchase separately between the camera (body only) and the lens. Do not buy a package of KIT. Lens with good quality are usually marked with a large aperture (eg f/2.8).
Sweet Spot Lens
The lens has its sweet spot respectively. Sweet spot is certain where the lens aperture will produce the sharpest images. Sweet spot of the lens two stops are usually located above the maximum limit the ability of the lens aperture. For example, for the f/2.8 lens is its sweet spot at f/5.6. Then use aperture f/5.6 lens if you shoot with it, your picture will be sharp razor-sharp.
Tripod
Tripod is impractical and inconvenient, but if you are "willing to" take it, you'll get sharper photos. Especially if you want to generate HDR or panoramic photos, just let it go to bring a tripod.
