Blurry photos can cause you undeniable pull-your-hair-out, what-am-I-doing-wrong frustration.
Vacation rental photography expert Tyann Marcink and Atlanta based photographer Gary Lun of The Photography Express discuss three easy tips to getting sharp photos.
Gary comes from a background in portrait work, so there are a few references and tips that relate more to portraits than to vacation rentals. But don’t skip what he says.
If you don’t have nine and a half minutes to watch the whole video, following are the parts you can skip to:
0:00 introduction
0:55 Tip 1 – light
Important point: have enough light for the shutter speed you need to use. If you have low light and need to use a fast shutter speed, that is when you may need to introduce extra tools to help you.
2:15 soft box
2:45 soft and hard light
3:25 off camera flash
3:45 best flash to use
4:50 Tip 2 – tripod
Gary uses a Manfrotto and Tyann uses a MeFOTO
6:25 Tip 3 – slide, not tilt
