HOW TO GET CRISPY SHARP IMAGES – In any kind of Photography we all want to have sharp images. Because sharpness means details. So there are a few things you should know before start shooting. Actually there are 3 things to consider when we talk about sharpness. Those are the lens, the camera, and the technique you’re shooting.

And it happens to me when I go to the desert to take pictures. Because during we travel to the desert we keep on the AC and when taking out the camera there’s humid on the sensor and also inside the eyepiece.
Shutter Speed – it’s obvious your images will blur when shooting with less shutter speed. this caused especially when shooting at Weddings or other events.
– For example, if you use less shutter speed to get more light eventually your images will be blurred depends on the occasion. so once you click the photo Zoom-in and check that you’re getting it perfectly or not.
In case of a LONG EXPOSURE definitely use a proper tripod. these days we all use lightweight tripods so hang a sang bag to the center column, so it won’t move.

As well you can also use a remote shutter release or your smartphone, so you won’t touch the camera when pressing the shutter.
