10 Ways To Improve
A tripod is one of the most important
purchases photographers make, after
their camera. Landscape photography,
in particular, demands the use of our
three-legged friend, as shooting handheld
at small apertures and the resulting slow
shutter speeds is impossible. But as we’ve
already noted, a tripod can limit your
creativity if it can’t accommodate all the
potential shooting angles. To avoid this,
ensure that any tripod you think about
buying can fully splay its legs for low down
shooting, and ideally has a reversible centre
column for shots at, or near to, ground level.
