Re: Make Your Background Work For You
Terrifc advice Noel. Thanks. I'll scour through my collection when I get home to see if I have any that fall into this category. If I do, it'll be more by mistake than design  . I look forward to using this suggestion on the next shoot.
Beautiful shots by the way. Can I ask how you manage to get such sharp results at long zooms and relatively low shutter speeds? Do you just have a really good, steady hand? |

1 edit | My zooms have IS, that helps a lot. Beyond that, I do have very steady hands. Years of target shooting practice help; shooting a camera is not unlike shooting a gun. More than just the hands are involved. Take a deep breath and let it out, feel your heart beat, and squeeze the shutter button.

At first they thought I missed two of the shots. However, I seem to have a hard time with camera shake  . |

I have been hunting since I was 13. Taking pictures is alot like shooting a gun.

If you can't fix it with a buttset and some beanies you ain't a technician. |

Truth is most folks never get the first part right and subsequently not understanding their error they continue to score low.
Was a time when a photographer would be a stickler on the details as it took too long to reload his camera now it seems too many photographers are going into a spray and pray and photochop the target hit to the bulls-eye era.
