In order to become a better photographer, we first need to learn to shoot clearer images. Maybe you will make the following mistakes to make your pictures always not sharp enough, whether you are a novice photographer or a veteran driver.
1. Rear focus
This is what is most likely to happen, when the camera is autofocused, the focus is biased to focus behind the focus target, and the focus point and periphery become blurred. This is especially true when shooting at macro and long distances, so it is recommended that you zoom in on the focal area before pressing the shutter.
2. Handheld shooting, the shutter is too slow
As a rule of thumb, there is a formula: 1/lens focal length = handheld safety shutter. For example, if you have a 30mm wide-angle lens, you'll need a minimum shutter speed of 1/30th of a second to ensure sharpness, and if you're using a 200mm telephoto lens, you'll need about 1/200th of a second to hold it in your hand.
For many photographers who prefer to shoot in aperture priority mode, they are often forced to accept less than these safe shutter speeds without paying attention to their shutter speeds.
3. The shutter speed is not enough to shoot moving objects
To shoot sharp moving objects, a higher shutter speed is required. Generally speaking, it takes 1/250 second to photograph a person walking in daylight during the day, and about 1/500~1/1000 second to photograph a person running. For other sports, a higher shutter speed may be required. When you're shooting in aperture priority mode, be sure to pay attention to your shutter speed.
4. When taking portraits, the focus is not on the eyes
When shooting portraits, especially close-ups, or works with a shallow depth of field, the focus is on the eyes of the person (unless this is not the case). Zoom in on the focus point without moving it to the person's nose or ears.
5. Don't dare to raise your ISO
In many cases, most people are afraid to try to shoot with a higher sensitivity, but using a high sensitivity will undoubtedly solve a lot of problems, allowing for faster shutter speeds, or smaller apertures, to prevent camera shake and allow us to achieve a greater depth of field effect, depending on how well the camera is used, whether to use ISO1600, 3200, 6400, or even 12800. In addition, when shooting, it is more important to make sure that the photo is clear and free of noise.
6. Always shoot non-stop
This can actually be said to be the biggest taboo for a photographer, and this situation is mostly seen in excessive travel photography. If you want to take a better photo, be sure to stop and check the previous shot. Especially when you are always walking, most of the shots are likely to be blurry.
7. The lens is too dirty
If there is some oil stain stuck to your lens, then it will definitely make the photo less sharp. When you're out shooting, prepare a cloth for your glasses or wipe it off with a soft T-shirt.
8. Zoom out in low-light environments
When shooting in dark conditions, the camera's autofocus capabilities, especially entry-level cameras, can be particularly frustrating. Because the camera will struggle to find shiny, contrasting objects to focus on, it is often difficult to get a clear enough picture in this situation. It is advisable to use manual focus in this case, and zoom in to check the focus point, and additionally choose a lens with a wide aperture (such as 50mm f/1.8) may be helpful.
9. Sometimes, a tripod is not immune to shaking
When shooting with a tripod, first make sure you don't touch it before closing the focus, and then use a shutter release or a 2-second delay to keep the image sharp.
In windy weather, pay special attention to the stability of the tripod, the wind will carry the tripod to shake your camera, to solve this problem, you can turn up the ISO to ensure a faster shutter speed. Finally, if you're shooting with a tripod, turn off the built-in "Stabilization" feature on some cameras.
