How to Sharpen Photo Part Two

let we continue tips about How to Sharpen Photo Part 2

Step 2
Set your camera to Burst Mode
Every time you take your camera, look through the viewfinder and press the shutter release button, a lot of things can happen. An earthquake or an asteroid hitting the earth too. However, what’s more likely is that you’ll end up shaking the camera a little while pressing the button.
There’s always a risk to ruin your photos for this reason, and you’ll know only examining the photos on the screen of your camera. In the meanwhile, the moment is gone.
So, are you shooting using a digital camera? Well, waste your megagigaterabytes! Set you camera in burst mode and shoot at least 3/4 photos everytime you press the shutter release button.
At least one will be sharp, and consequently you will be happy. Or at least happier than taking a single not-so-sharp photo.

Step 3
Use a tripod….
Yeah, that’s a good advice.. But I’m not using it because in street photography you don’t have time to place that thing and anyway, you already need a fast shutter speed to capture the people..
I wrote it just because every “10 tips for taking AMAZING photos!!!” on digg has this amazingly funny gag to write at least on 3 or 4 points “USE A TRIPOD”, “I TOLD YOU TO USE A TRIPOD, DIDN’T I?”, “THE TRIPOD IS YOUR BEST FRIEND”.. no, it’s not, at least not mine.

Step 4
Pre-focus your camera
Auto focus is great, I love it and couldn’t live without..I use it to measure the length of my apartment too, but when you’re acting fast, maybe in low-light and using a f/1.4 aperture, you’ll soon realize that the autofocus is slow, it makes you feel depressed, and as soon as you take the photo, the focus will be somewhere else. What to do? Well, for me it’s like fishing: I find a good spot on the sidewalk, focus my camera to few meters away (using some object to focus at the right distance), set in manual focus mode and as soon as someone is near the object I’ve used to focus my camera.. click! Gotcha!
we continue in another day can we ?enough for today i guess :) .....
