A reliable tripod can be an essential item of equipment for the amateur and professional photographer whether taking landscapes or anything else sometimes you just need some type of support to get the right shot.

One of the most important pieces of equipment that you can have is a good tripod. No matter what the subject matter landscapes, nature, wildlife, travel, sports or portraiture, a tripod is essential if you desire professional quality results.Don´t limit your possibilities.

Tripods allow you to fix the camera on a predetermined location which is needed for achieving precise composition, and a level horizon. No matter what you are doing,watching a nest or lair, or a corner of a football field, the tripod is needed for extended periods of work.

They are also great for taking portraits allowing you to concentrate on developing a rapport with the subject and getting the best from them. They help you hold compositions that would be uncomfortable or impossible if you had to hold the camera. But the most obvious benefit is that they allow all photographers to get better quality photos, even at moderate shutter speeds the movement caused by our shaking hand reduces the image quality and we all do it.

The slower the shutter speed we use the quality of the pictures becomes less until a blur is obvious even at very small viewing sizes. You could shoot at fast shutter speed, but this is not always practical, or wanted.

A tripod completely eliminates this shaky movement, which enables shutter speeds of minutes, and even hours.

So When Do I Need A Tripod
At what point should the shutter speed be deemed to slow to benefit from the use of a tripod? It depends...

You need a tripod when the distance is greater so that the shake in your hand is exposed on the photo, again the best advice is to experiment, try different objects moving and still and at various ranges, you will notice very quickly when the quality starts to drop.

So now you’re convinced about why you need a tripod and how it’s going to improve your photography, have great fun with it.
