ZOOMING

Have you ever tried to photograph a bird or animal from far away. In this situation you cant move close to the subject (it will fly or run). So you start the camera application of your mobile, adjust the subject in viewfinder and..... you notice that the subject appears too small !!!. Here you make the most obvious mistake... zoom upon the subject, and click... But the captured image is not upto your expectation. It is very blurred :-(

Most of the articles you might have read on this topic will say not to use the zoom feature. But sometimes we have to use it. I have found a way out to use the zoom cleverly. Here it is

1. Try to move as close to the subject as much you can. Dont use the zoom unnecessarily.
2. Zoom a little only. Never use the zoom to full extent. Even if the subject is far. Additional zooming may be compensated by cropping the image.
3. The subject should be very well lighted.
4. Your hands should be absolutely still while taking the photo. A very light shake or stir can have a drastic effect on zoomed image.

Happu clicking ;-)
