Photo Tip: Set Your Camera
To Shoot Multiple Exposures.
You'll Get Better Individual Pictures.

Hi Dale,
We'd all like to think that with our reflexes & photographic skill we can grab the best shots.
Going for that single, prize-winning shot is fine.
But, here's what we're up against. Even the best digital cameras have some level of shutter delay. Subjects also move. So, your perfect shot may happen a split second
after you press your shutter release. |
|
|---|
|
An easy way to get around this problem is to use a technique that pro sports photographers use for their action shots:
- Set your camera so that it shoots groups of 3 or more images with each pressing of the shutter release.
- Select the best of each picture group after your shoot.
The photos below illustrate how quickly expressions can change. Both photos were exposed in less than a second with a single press of the shutter.
Which do you like best?

What About Cell Phone Photos?
Here's some great news:
Both Apple & Samsung have incorporated a feature called Smart HDR into their new phones.
Here's Apple's description of what HDR (intelligent High Dynamic Range) offers iPhone owners:
"Smart HDR intelligently blends the best parts of separate exposures into a single photo."
In other words, this technology is taking the multiple exposure technique we're suggesting you use on your digital camera one step farther. Your cell phone will shoot multiple exposures. Then, it will do the equivalent of Photoshop transposing to select & incorporate the best expressions from the sequential photos.
How To Set Your Cell Phone Camera
On an iPhone 1) Click Settings > Camera . 2) Look for Smart HDR under the PHOTO CAPTURE section. 3) Enable Smart HDR.
Check your Samsung and other Android phones for this HDR feature & settings.
The Bottom Line: HDR will automatically take blinking eyes out of a lot of your holiday pictures! |
