Of all the qualities a photo can have, almost every photographer strives to create sharp images. A lot of objective and subjective quantities can affect the appearance of sharpness in a shot, and the sooner you can take control of all of them, the better your photos will be. This excellent video tutorial features an experienced photographer sharing a wide range of helpful advice for creating sharp images that pop off the screen.
Coming to you from Roman Fox, this fantastic video tutorial offers useful tips for getting sharp photos. Perhaps the most common mistake I see beginners make when it comes to getting sharp shots is using too slow of a shutter speed due to trying to keep their ISO lower to reduce noise. It is good to have less noise in a photo, of course, but one cannot sacrifice freezing a quickly moving subject or negating camera shake from a long focal length for a lower ISO, as the resultant blur is difficult to impossible to correct. On the other hand, modern cameras handle high ISOs very well, and noise reduction software can work small miracles nowadays. It's always better to have a sharp photo with some noise than a noise-free but blurry shot. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Fox.
