LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY
The steadier the camera, the less chance of camera shake – If you're using a slow shutter, hold your breath while taking the shot.
Holding the neck strap taut is a good way to steady your camera.
Engaging lens stabilisation on the Canon RF 35mm F1.8 Macro IS STM enables you to shoot handheld at a shutter speed of 0.8 seconds.
Setting a two-second timer when using a fence post as a perch gives the camera a moment to settle before the shutter opens.
Freeing your camera from the tripod could spark your creativity by revealing new angles and unique compositions.
When shooting handheld, what you lose in stability you make up for in adaptability. Taken on a Canon EOS RP with a Canon RF 35mm F1.8 Macro IS STM lens at 1/100 sec, f/16 and ISO100.
The photographer has taken advantage of the freedom of movement allowed by shooting handheld to capture this piece of driftwood from a different angle.
This two-second handheld exposure, which has gently blurred the movement of the waves, was possible thanks to the in-body image stabilisation in the Canon EOS R6 working alongside the IS in the Canon RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM lens. This shot might actually have been harder to achieve with a tripod because water lapping around its legs could have introduced movement. Taken at 35mm, 2 secs, f/7.1 and ISO125.
