Work involves:

• Making people see your point of view.• Good composition.• Technically good images – ie not blurred.Common problems• Under or over-exposed• Out of focus /blur die to handshake• Blur due to too lower shutter speed.• Insufficient depth of field• Harsh light and unwanted flair

Shutter speedThe inverse rule

Blur due to lack of focus.

Make sure you focus thelens before you take thepicture.

Some cameras do thisAutomatically – but it isnot failsafe.

Page 31: Skills talk I: Making pictures rather than taking pictures. Bringing faith to life through the power of image.

Blur due to handshake.

On average, people can hold a camera steady for no less than 1/60th second.

Some specialised lenses will allow you to handholdfor longer periods – these are called image-stabilisedor vibration-reduction lenses.

One lens element moves inthe lens to counteract thejogging movement in yourhand.

Blur due to subject moving fast - Red Arrows: Shot at 1/60s

Page 33: Skills talk I: Making pictures rather than taking pictures. Bringing faith to life through the power of image.

Red Arrows: Shot at 1/250sStill not that sharp – need 1/500s!

Aperture & lensesLarger aperture = smaller number,Narrow zone of

focus.f1.4/ f8 /f11/ f16

(Depends on lens & distance from subject.)
