You know each time I see one of these photos they are ALL blurry as all hell. Does anyone know how to use a cameras anymore? Maybe we need cameras that has a very fast auto-focus.
Photography in the forest is difficult at best. The lighting conditions change continuously. The automatic features with digital cameras are great for everyday snapshots… but a digital camera set on auto in low light conditions will most likely give you a low shutter speed. Anything less than 125th of a second will probably yield a blobsquatch. From my experience most people keep their cameras on Auto and don’t even know what the other settings do.
Auto focus doesn’t always focus on what you want so this will yield a lot of fuzzy pictures also. Having said this, it is possible to get a good shot with the automatic features if all the variables come together for you. So far all we have is another fuzzy picture of Bigfoot.
I am an amateur photographer. I have a lot of experience with all types of photography. For these two examples I used a high quality digital SLR with manual settings and auto focus disabled.
At first both pictures look real good until you look at the camera settings. I am using a rather high ISO at 1000, the aperture is wide at 5.6 (shallow depth of field) and the best shutter speed is still only 1/30 second. (Not fast enough to stop movement)
Both Pictures - Hand held
ISO Speed - 1000
Aperture - 5.6
Shutter Speed 1/30 sec.
If there was a animal moving in either of these pictures, taken at these settings, the animal would be blurry and or slightly out of focus due to the shallow depth of field. Another blobsquatch
Like I said “photography in the forest is difficult at best “It will take someone with a good quality camera and understanding of how the camera works in all lighting conditions. Oh!!
Most importantly!! You will need a Sasquatch that is
willing to sit still long enough to say “cheese “.
