improving your grip


I'd not been happy lately with how I've been standing when shooting and I was starting to feel that technique was playing a big part in the lack of keepers I was getting. sometimes I get a shot bang on and then the next one was lacking.

then I did a bit of looking online, came across this video and bingo, big improvement. two samples attached showing the difference.

Both are iso 3200 with very slow shutter speed and about F4 or 5 on the 18-55 WR lens on the K3 body. low shutter speed NR is turned on and shake reduction is turned on too.

First shot is with my normal techinque. As you can see, very prone to shake due to exposure times. The second shot, much crisper and more solid.

Useful, thanks for sharing.

Also, check out this guide https://www.pentaxforums.com/reviews/long-exposure-handhelds/introduction.html . I find it much more informative
