Also, when using a high ISO, take multiple photos of the same object. I say 4 or more is good, the more the merrier. Because that grain that you see in high ISO is random, what happens is when you take multiple pictures the grain would appear in different places. In photoshop there's a way to combine the photos where only shared pixels would be kept, so the random grain would be mostly eliminated. You do this by loading all of the photos into a stack, basically a bunch of layers overlapping each other, use Photoshop's auto-align feature to line them all up, convert to smart object, then use stack mode mean or median. I've tried both and they pretty much look identical, so use whichever. This works most of the time to get rid of the grain you get when using a high ISO.

1. @1:04...Hold the camera correctly. Tucked, tripod or lean against something sturdy
2. @2:20...Single Shot or Continuous Auto Focus
3. @4:00...Increase your ISO..The higher the number the better for low light shooting
4. @5:51...Adjusting your "F" Stop Number.

Its good to hear Mark talk about how to get sharper pictures, its been a long time since being able to take pictures and to get back into watching the lessons, at 80 nothing comes fast. So I will slowly take part into Marks videos, you don't know how much you help me. Thank you

2:26 I just shifted my setting to one shot focus. I’ve been using shutter priority for a while, and I’ve gotten a battery grip, too. I have a Canon Rebel T2i. I also have neurological tremors, and it’s me shaking that makes the shot blurry. I’ll practice bracing as you suggested, too. Thank you for your helpful, doable insights!

To the beginners, the ISO "trick" does help but if you go too far (like ISO 6400) the efforts may be cancelled out by the fact you now have some noise to remove from your image. So your image may be "sharp" but the noise reduction process has to blur the image a bit to clean up the noise. Just something to watch out for. Most cameras are OK up to around ISO 3200 to 6400 but much beyond that, you're looking at a fair amount of noise to deal with.

Also if you're shooting on something stabilized, like a tripod, TURN OFF YOUR IMAGE STABILIZATION. This can lead to slightly blurry images in some cases. image stabilization is designed for when you are hand holding (primarily in low light or at slow shutter speeds) but when you're on a tripod, the camera isn't really moving. The only except to turning this off is if there is wind that is moving the camera on the tripod. Then you may want to consider leaving it on.

Useful tips, but I would like to point out that increasing the ISO does not alter the sensor sensitivity, changing the ISO changes the gain applied to the signal coming from the sensor.

It's happening to me just because I support certain people. Well I can say with a clear conscience. Keep up you work, because 90% of people are sick of adverts, talent programs, news readers, comedy, the list is pretty endless. I back you!! 🇬🇧👍
