Seven tips tell you how to avoid blurring photos.

Peter Adams once said: A good photo lies in the depth of emotion, not the depth of field. Yes, but the depth of field is real. Since there is depth of field, there will be Jiao Wai and blur. Of course, it is not only Jiao Wai who blurs a photo, but also factors such as shaking hands. If you want to take a good photo, you must be clear. Let's take a look at 7 tips with me and tell you how to avoid blurring photos.

1, focusing on the background

This problem often occurs when using camera autofocus. We want to focus on the subject, but maybe the contrast of the subject is small or the subject is out of focus, or for other reasons, the automatic focusing system of the camera does not recognize the subject, but focuses on the background. Resulting in a clear background but a blurred subject. At this time, you only need to move the viewfinder to the center of the subject, press the shutter half-way to lock the focus of the subject, and then pan the camera to your satisfactory composition.

Not only automatic focusing, but also manual focusing, especially when focusing in split screens, this method is the most practical. Focus on the subject first, and then pan the camera for composition, so as to ensure that the focus of your shooting is on the subject.

2. Use a low-speed shutter

This problem is the most common. After all, not everyone has a pair of diamond hands. In the case of insufficient light, we have to slow down the shutter speed, which is easy to shake and cause the' blur' of the photo.

Generally, we all know that the safety shutter is the reciprocal of the focal length, that is to say, the safety shutter for a 50mm lens is about 1/50s( 1/60s) and that for a 35mm lens is about 1/35s( 1/30s). Slower shutter speed may cause jitter.

Many people take pictures with the aperture first, so sometimes they may not pay attention to the shutter speed. When they see a good picture and want to shoot it, they press the shutter and find that the automatic shutter speed is not enough and the picture is shaking.

If your camera has a TAv file, it can be used in the case of insufficient light at night. Set the aperture and shutter speed, and the system will automatically assign the appropriate sensitivity to achieve the ideal exposure.

If you shoot with a manual film machine, always pay attention to the shutter speed. Don't wait until you press the shutter to find out why the shutter is so long. Your hands may shake when you are distracted.

3. The shutter speed is too slow to freeze the action.

It's still the low-speed shutter, but this time it's not the camera, it's the object you're shooting. When you are shooting moving people or animals, the subject will not stop waiting for you to finish shooting. You must use a high-speed shutter to capture their movements at the moment. Generally, people who walk need to use the shutter of 1/250s, while people who run or exercise need the shutter of 1 at a higher speed.

4. Portrait photography does not focus on the eyes.

When you are shooting portraits, especially when you use large aperture, shallow depth of field and close range, unless you have other composition ideas and arrangements, it is best to focus on the eyes of the subject.

5, did not improve your ISO.

If your lens aperture is not so large and you shoot in low light, then you must improve your ISO. As mentioned earlier, the biggest difference between digital photography and film photography lies in ISO. Nowadays, in the camera industry, high ISO is becoming more and more controllable, and even photos taken by 3200 or 6400 ISO are acceptable. High ISO allows you to control your image with higher shutter speed and smaller aperture.

Of course, if it's film, if you want to shoot low light, you have to use a tripod. After all, there are too few high-speed films, and many factors are uncontrollable, so it is easy to get burnt waste films.

6. Press the shutter when you walk.

This kind of problem often happens when I shoot the street, or I suddenly see a good picture, or I want to shoot it secretly and quietly. I will take out my camera and press the shutter while walking, so I will probably get burned when I move, unless I use a high-speed shutter.

When you decide to shoot, you'd better slow down, at least keep the camera still when you press the shutter.

7, can't focus in low light environment

Whether shooting digital or film, we all know that it is difficult to focus in low light. The most important point of focusing is the contrast between the subject and the surrounding environment, which is difficult to see clearly in low light environment. Therefore, the autofocus of digital cameras often fails, and manual focusing may be better, but it is still inconvenient under the bright viewfinder.

In fact, having said so much, there are only two key points, shutter speed and focus. To ensure a safe shutter speed and find a good focus, your photos will be very clear. Of course, if you want to be sharp, it has something to do with the camera.
