Photo Tip

Photography in the evening hours can often be trickier than photography during daylight hours.  The need for longer shutter speed and a steady hand can often make the different between a good shot and a “not so good shot”.

Although some of the best photos out there are blurry ones, many are not. In order to prevent images from turning out blurry (when wanted to be tack sharp) a tripod is almost a must.

If you do not own a tri-pod and do not want to spend the money on one (anywhere from $10-$500) there is the opportunity to purchase a low budget mini tri-pod from your local dollar store. At $1-$2 a cheap tri-pod (such as this one) can help to improve your shots. You can also ask someone around you at the walk or someone you know to borrow theirs for a quick shot.

We hope to you see you there, and don’t forget to SIGN UP for the LOPW newsletter. This will keep you up to date on all events and other news.
