How to take tack sharp pictures?

[Tumbleweed]

Photographer's general rule of thumb to avoid camera shake which can cause unsharp pictures:

If your zoom lens is set at 100mm, make sure your shutter speed is 1/125 or faster. If 200mm, then set to 1/250 or faster etc. If anything slower than than that then I hope your lens has image stablisation or your camera is on a tripod. To achieve fast enough shutter speed you may have to open up your aperture or increase your ISO. Also you may want to cut down on the caffeine.

actually should set your arms and heartbeat at different frequency to maximise the anti shake... :bsmilie:

anyway, if OOF, also no use already... or the in camera default is soft, no matter how u shoot, still soft...

IMHO, Caffeine from coffee caused heart to beat faster, thus will make you difficult to hold a breath, causing a body shaking. Must relax or calm when you take a photos.

Hi, if that the case, if my lens is 40-150 and i using zoom function, my shuter should be 1/125 or more? and if i never zoom, i should set to 1/60? thanks, i still very new to these.

I quit coffee several months ago, but my photos still not sharp enough :sweat: .

I think I need to drink 'kaki tiga' (Indonesian colling down drinking water, English translation is 'tripod') :bsmilie: .

Great Idea. With a in-built "tri-pod" we should be able to get more stabilised shot.

:bsmilie: Anyone doing a MO to deliver daily supply of "kaki tiga" for all who suffer from hand shakes?

sorry, i do not have access to internet all day yesterday...
okay, my shutter speed is always 1/60 or faster. for aperture, i try to keep it at f5.6 or 8 for the kit lens (is that correct?) maybe the problem is with the lens...how to check backfocus of a lens?
or maybe i should try with the in-camera sharpening...does it cost u a lot of noise when doing this?

i used the center spot af point (to make it easier for me to meter the light) so, i focused then recompose while still pressing the shutter button halfway.
the thing is, when i view the picture at 100% zoom, the sharpness is gone. while at 50% is still acceptable though. isn't 100% zoom important if i want to print the pic for a maximum resolution?
