To use tripod or not depends on what you shoot.
Fast passed event photography how to use tripod, expecially when you need to move around, with so many people, furniture (uhm..obstacles?), to avoid?
I use my 50mm f1.4 for my event photography. Its not the sharpest lens wide open. But for flashless low light photography, i can sacrifice a bit of sharpness for that extra stop or 2 of shutter speed. Cranking up ISO also whacks the sharpness. But then again, unless you were pixel peeping and restric yourself to 8x10s...hell you wont even notice it was soft.
Hell, I haven't had any complaints when I was using the 50mm f1.8. And those that have used it can detest how unrealiable the AF is on that lens in low light. The F1.4 is much better.
Would I use a tripod? Yes. For my product photography. F14, ISO 100 3 second exposure.....How not to use tripod?In HKIA waiting for next flight.
Reminds me how much sucky TM's gateway is. All the malaysian sites are so slooooooow. Everying outside Malaysia is blooody fast.
Vancouver in 12 hours.........probably no time to even manage to take the camera out of the bag...... would be the 4th time, and I still have yet to take a shot...hahahaha.
That is exactly what I would like to know.. when and what scenario to use.... But the master unable to explain in details and go to the extend labeling others know nothing about photography. Yes I do admit i know nothing bout photography beside spamming the shutter. So does that mean that ah chu, ah mak and ah 9 who know abit of photography can be a sifu and talk like a top professional who earn few hundred k per month ? when ask for info then "taruk" others link/blog such as the sinkalanray blog ? something is not right here
