How to Make Best Use of Your Tripod

Sometimes when we are shooting the objects, it is really very good if we can spend some time with our subject thus we need to slow down the procedure and required to think more over the subject.
In order to follow this we need to have tripod, as mostly there are certain things which we cannot do without a tripod.
Click picture at slow shutter speed One can do lots of interesting things with this like clicking moving, non-moving, blurred parts.
For example with a car, as it is moving therefore one can easily click with a tripod.
Using a slow shutter speed would make the subject sharp and the background would be blurred.
Make use of smaller apertures As you are using the slower speeds, so you can click at any aperture you wish.
How to use a tripod Spread the legs first.
It would make you more stable with the camera if you would spread the legs fully first.
Do not move higher.
The higher you would stand the tripod would be more unstable.
So you don't need to go much higher.
Before spreading the legs, bend it according to the height.
Thus that is the only way to be sure that legs are all of the same height.
Thus it would enable you to have a chance to bring it on level of your camera.
But still you need to make it sure by spirit level or eye.
Expand legs preferably than central column.
Central column is not solid as compared to the legs.
Thus it should be used for simple and fine modifications and adjustments.
Purchasing a tripod Do not purchase a small one, just thinking it would simply fit into your bag as most of the times you would find them useless.
The basic idea is to get a good and correct balance between strength and weight.
So even if it is heavy it would not be good as you would hesitate to take it along and also it is of no use, if it does not support your camera at all.
