Use A Tripod In Photography

Using a tripod can vastly improve the quality of your shots, and make your photography easier.


Instructions


1. Make sure that you have the right tripod and head to fit your camera. If you are unsure if a model is right for your camera, bring it to the shop with you; and the associates should be able to help you find the right model.


2. Once you have your tripod, pick your subject and the location from which you would like to shoot . You should choose a relatively flat surface. Once you've chosen your location, decide on the height you will want the shot to come from.


3. Open the legs and extend them to the height you desire. Once you have the height set, lock the tripod legs in place. You can get specific directions on open, extend and lock the legs in place in your owners manual. This process may vary depending on your tripod's design.


4. Place the camera on the tripod. This system may include a screw or clips, but screws are much more common. Once again due to variation in models, you will need to consult your owner's manual for instructions on do this. Once your camera is secure you can use the head to adjust the angle of the camera.


5. Line up your shot, and take your photos.
