<code>''Remember that the way you orient your camera most of the time is landscape or horizontal. It is good to know that there are other orientations, such as a portrait one, and it is advisable to experiment with multiple orientations and taking pictures at various distances from the subject, as this offers more opportunities on editing.''</code> | <code>''Remember that the way you orient your camera most of the time is landscape or horizontal.

== Steady shots are best == | |||
The best way to take photos is using a tripod. Having a perfectly stable camera position makes it possible to have the best images, regardless of the type of camera you use. Any, movement, no matter how slight, reduces the clarity of the image. While all cameras have quite advanced image stabilization possibilities, you still end up with best pictures when the camera is steady. Unfortunately, tripods or stands are bulky, heavy and cumbersome. | |||
== Steady shots with one hand == | |||
Despite how it may seem, you always create better shots using a single hand, as long as the camera or smartphone is not too heavy. The reasons two hands are not better than one is due to the fact that slight trembling on one hand is less noticeable than the one that compounds from both hands. Moreover, all image stabilization algorithms handle better movement in mostly a single direction and this is why you will easily end up with better pictures this way. | |||
<code>''If you do not have confidence in holding a camera with one hand, try to improve your technique and resort to straps or bands to avoid falls, until you are experienced enough. Mastering single hand camera operation is the best approach to having great pictures and faster captures.''</code> | |||
=== Using a tripod or stand === | |||
Tripod and camera stands come in different sizes and build quality, but there is no substitute for a good design, meaning that you end up with costly and heavy equipment. Depending on how much you have to move by yourself or using different vehicles, you can get by with lighter or heavier options. Generally, the heavier and more advanced the tripod or stand is, the better are your chances at quickly orienting the camera in a direction and obtain a steady shots. Good tripods always have various compensations and dampening techniques, resulting in quick and stable shots. Also, the way in which the tripod is firmly grounded makes it possible to afford various movement mistakes without ruining a capture. | |||
<code>''Extensible tripods and stands are best for highly movable photography, while being easily packed in bags. Sophisticated tripods require luggage space and are more difficult to carry. In time, and based upon your activities, you will get used to different stands and opt for the best choice. Experiment with tripods and stands.''</code> | |||
