TIP OF THE DAY: MATCH FOCAL LENGTH TO SHUTTER SPEED FOR SHARPER PHOTOS

Struggling with blurry photos? It could be due to camera shake. To keep your shots sharp, try holding your camera with both hands, bracing your elbows against your body, and pressing the shutter button gently. If you’re shooting in low light, consider using a tripod or resting your camera on a stable surface.

But here’s my TOP TIP: MATCH YOUR SHUTTER SPEED TO YOUR FOCAL LENGTH! For instance, if you're shooting at 50mm, set your shutter speed to at least 1/50th of a second. This simple rule can significantly reduce camera shake, especially when shooting handheld. The faster the shutter speed, the less chance of motion blur. Keep this tip in mind for sharper, crisper images, no matter which lens you’re using!

A steady camera equals sharper, clearer photos!

As always, best of luck!
