Today is another great photography tip that applies all the way down the camera food chain. Yes, there’s a camera food chain. You’ve got: large format, medium format, 35mm, APS sensors, point and shoot, and camera phones. Yes, this even applies to camera phones. I will say that if you’re using this technique for a large format camera, I’d like to see it.

Hey photographers. Daniel Roberts here for FreshEdgePhoto.com. I’ve got another tip for you today. Today is all about, ”Lean on me, when you’re not…” Nah, I’m not going to sing for you, but it is about leaning on things to get sharper photos. Now, sometimes we don’t have a tripod, we don’t have a monopod, and we don’t have any way to stabilize the camera to get the shot we need.

Always try to find a wall, a park bench, or anything that you can use that’s at least a little more sturdy. When I’m backpacking sometimes I’ll even take a walking stick or a dead branch and use that to prop my camera on. Anything that you can use to get that little bit more stability by bearing down on. Anything that will get you that extra stop of light that you need. Of course, you can always shoot in RAW files to extend your exposure. It’s not the best way.

Definitely lean on things when you’re out there shooting in the filed. As always, my name is Daniel Roberts. That’s another photo tip. You can find more of me at FreshEdgePhoto.com. Thanks.
