Tired of Blurry Digital Photos

The perfect digital photo is available to digital photographers who will pre-plan their photography outing.

Movement of the camera, and or the subject is usually the culprit of blurry digital images and the only ways to prevent this is to one use a monopod or a tripod, or make sure you have a camera that will allow you to set the ISO speed. The later is the equivalent to changing film speed with the older film SLR cameras. The default ISO setting is usually 100 or 200 which will make beautiful portrait or landscape photos if your subject is still and you and your camera are still as well.

Depending on Day light or available indoor lighting you may want to set the ISO speed to at least 400 for a normal outside day and for a brightly lit room. If your camera is set to the P mode (program mode) you will see what the on board computer will calculate your shutter speed. It needs to be at least 250 or higher for a steady looking shot.

If you are taking action photos like a Motocross or Soccer match then you want to get the shutter speed up to 1000 . You then will have to raise the ISO speed to 800 on a cloudy day.
The real draw back to raising the ISO speed is you will get a grainier digital photo. It will have minute specks in the image, which I call ISO noise – You can live with it or purchase Photoshop and a Photoshop action that will take out ISO noise automatically for you. The actions can be purchased at a few locations. One place to buy it is fredmiranda.com and they do support several Canon EOS, and Nikon DSLR's plus a couple of the compact digital cameras.

Hope this helps and happy picture taking.
