High Times – October 2019

OCTOBER 2019 I HIGH TIMES 65

the size of trees, a macro lens is your best
choice. One of the downsides of macro
photography is its extremely shallow depth
of field, making it hard to get everything in
focus. Many macro photographers stack mul-
tiple exposures together to create incredibly
detailed photos.

TRIPOD
Do you really need a tripod? The short
answer is yes! A tripod will eliminate camera
shake regardless of the camera’s settings.
How many times have you been out taking

photos in low light only to get home to a

bunch of blurry photos! Sure, you can boost

the ISO through the roof, but the noise will be

extreme. Nothing beats a full-frame camera,

low-ISO and long exposure for low-light con-

ditions, and the only way to do this is with a

sturdy tripod. A tripod will allow you to shoot

long into the evening with no fear of blurry

images. Since the camera placement doesn’t

change between shots, you can take multiple

exposures and combine them later in post-

production. Buy a good tripod and you won’t

be sorry.
