I’m just starting out with photography and I have to say I’m finding this guy really does seem to cut through the bs. Subscribed for sure! Thanks so much Simon.
Do you turn off stabilization at high shutter speeds?
I use Photoshop rather than Lightroom, long story. If I have an image that needs help with sharpness after the fact I will use the high pass filter using layers. Sometimes it works well, sometimes not so much. I will even try and save an image that I really like by sneaking up on the sharpness by using high pass in small amounts, say .5 or so and applying it a few times. It is not a be all end all but it has helped me save some shots that otherwise would be unusable. I learned about this, not from a professor at the college but from my boss at the time. Thanks again for such great and concise content!
i use telephoto lenses my favorite being a 70-210 canon 4.5 how do I figure the shutter speed for this?
