hi I'm Barry Callister for photographers freedom calm giving you the time gear
and skills to be the best photographer you can be welcome to my channel this
channel is all about photography tutorials Lightroom and Photoshop
tutorials gear reviews and other photography stuff so if you like the
sound of that please subscribe Oh ding that belt so that now you get notified
of new videos let's get into the content one very simple way that you can get
sharper photos is by using your camera's continuous shutter release mode what
this does is it tells your camera to take multiple photos when you press the
shutter button instead of just one how does this help you get sharper photos
though well think about it when you're holding your camera handheld your arms
are always moving now that movement is transferring into the camera and it's
creating camera shake which transfers to your photos and robs them of their
sharpness it blurs the edges of things in your photos it could be ever so
slightly but it still stops your photos from being sharp and you can't avoid
this so if you're in continuous shooting mode and you're taking multiple shots
you've got more chance of having a sharp one in amongst all of those shots then
you would if you're clicking off one at a time you're also eliminating the
movement of actually pressing the shutter button down as lightly as you
feel that you're doing that it's still creating a movement in the camera which
is eliminated in continuous shutter release mode because you press once and
the camera does all the work so let's have a look at how to put your
camera into continuous shutter release mode all right now obviously setting
continuous shutter release mode is going to be different for your camera I'm
using a Nikon d50 200 here for this explanation so just either consult your
camera's manual or Google your camera model and you'll be able to find out how
to do it with your camera for the Nikon d50 200 what we do is we press this
button up here that is the shutter release mode button in there so you
press that and you'll see on the LCD screen on the back here you have single
frame release mode continuous L which is continuous low speed so that's that will
take three frames per second and then you have continuous H or continuous high
speed and that will take five frames a second so that is what you press the ok
button to select there so that is what I set it on so we press the we press this
button here on the top of the camera that has the little rectangles stacked
up like little peaches push that down scroll across with your selector switch
here left or right wherever you have to go and select H and click the ok button
and you're good to go okay so now we have our cameras in continuous shutter
release mode let's head out and we'll take some example shots so that I can
show you how using continuous shutter release mode can help you to eliminate
camera shake in some shots alright so I've come down to the beach
and what I'm going to do is take a few handheld shots of this log behind me I
wanted to use a stationary subject because I'd want any difference in the
photos to be because of camera shake and not motion blur which is where something
moved in the photograph so I'm going to take a few shots here I've got my camera
set on continuous shutter release mode high-speed so it'll take five frames a
second so I will click off about five frames and we'll compare the difference
back at the computer
let's get these shots back to the computer and check out the differences
okay so I'm back at the computer now and I've imported the photos into Lightroom
I've done no editing to them whatsoever so they are exactly as they came out of
the camera what I'm going to do is select the first one ctrl click to
select the next one and click compare view here and I'm viewing them at one to
one always check the sharpest of your photos at one to one so we can see I can
see already I'm not sure if you can see this on the video hopefully you can but
I can already tell that this photo on the right here is slightly sharper than
this one on the left so if I had only taken just this one shot yes it's okay
it's still a great photo and I could use it but if I'm looking for that extra bit
of detail using continuous shutter mode has really helped me to get a sharper
photo here in the second one and if we check the third photo in this series at
the same spot please Lightroom this one's sharper than the first one too I
can tell there on that part of the log let's have a look at this rock yeah
looking at these sharp these edges here these cracks in the rock I can tell this
one here is a bit sharper as well and then this one here is the fourth one in
the series it's about as sharp as the first one and
then the final one in the series to me seems to be a bit sharper than the first
so we'll go back to here yeah I think it's a bit sharper too
- when you're checking the sharpness obviously you want to choose a part of
your photograph that is in focus like this front part of the log here is not
in focus so I wouldn't use that to test the sharpness you want to look at parts
of the photo that that of crisp focus so there you go that is one quick tip on
how to take sharp photos if you would like more tips just like it hit
