No tripod allowed – stabilized cameras improve your journey

Photography, Stories and Tips

Desired motion blurWith higher ISO you can “freeze” the action better because of the faster shutter speed but on the other hand you lose some quality due to noise and photo detail. Read my full article to see examples and tips here

Static scenesFor static objects / scenes it’s even easier. You don’t need to worry about motion blur and can save time by not using a tripod. You can try even lower shutter speeds because you don’t have to worry about movement in the photo.

Not tripod allowedIf a tripod is not allowed (like in churches quite often) a  stabilizer will be a true blessing for you. Having some experience with handheld pictures / low shutter speeds will help you in these situations.

PortraitsWhen it comes to portraits / scenes including people where you don’t want motion blur in your photos, your shutter speed needs to be a little higher. From my experience I don’t recommend shutter speeds slower than 1/25 because it’s very likely that motion blur will ruin your picture.

These are some of the experiences I made in the past. You can see my camera gear and more tips here
