Continuing with my short little series of bird photos. Again, using a tripod really makes the difference in the image quality. I have always kind of resisted using a tripod thinking "I can hold it steady." Yea right. I found though that even the act of releasing the shutter creates a little lens motion, even with the tripod. Maybe I need a better tripod, but I have a pretty good one- it was around $100. Not the best out there by far, but it should be reasonable. I had to use the shutter timer for this shot to eliminate the shake. I think what I really need is an electronic remote shutter release. They are not too much money.
That and faster glass.
Each day I am going to attempt to upload a photo to this space, and write about it. My purpose is twofold; to improve my photography skills and to improve my writing. As an educator I believe that I should practice what I preach. I ask my students to constantly improve their work and to reflect on it regularly, so why shouldn't I. Doing so in a public place holds me a little more accountable for doing it.
