Tripods come real handy when shooting sensitive subjects that have zero tolerance towards shakes. There are times when you go slow on shutter speed and opt to photograph long exposures, in such cases the photos taken with hand held camera get blurred (due to camera shakes). Even a slight shake may ruin the perfect shot due to the lack of sturdy support. Supporting the camera with a tripod can help fix up the problem and achieve sharp results when slowing down the shutter speed.

Even though the tripods perform a very basic function of supporting the camera and providing a sturdy surface to it,  they are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, depending upon the composition and the requirement of a photographer. From a beginner’s perspective, here are a few points to keep in mind when selecting a tripod.

• Stability of a tripod.
• Depending on type of photography you do.
• Height of the tripod.
• Weight of a Tripod.

Types Of Tripods

• Full Sized Tripod: This class of tripod is often the choice of a serious photographer who use variety of cameras and long telephoto lenses for shooting pictures. They are best suited for medium format cameras or large format cameras.


Tripod By Jepirrier

• Table Top & Mini Tripod: As the name suggest, these are small and lightweight pods which can be easily accommodated in your bags. Most apt for taking close-up pictures, self-portraits or group shots. You can fix it at the table top or other level surface when needed.
• Compact Tripod: A compact tripod is similar to that of a full-sized tripod but comparatively lightweight. Without any difficulty you can fold it so that it can be placed in a valise. All in all, it is lightweight and fold-able.

Which Tripod Suits You The Best?

• Basic Tripod: These tripods generally have non-removable heads and have variety of weight limits (3-5 pounds). Most of which have aluminum legs with plastic locks. Extended up to 50-60 inches and this pod can flex itself up to 25 inches. They are well suited for “Sunday drivers”.
• Tripod For Pros: For professional photographers such a pod will do it all. These are highly customizable tripods exclusively designed for the photographers who keeps  dabbling around with their photographic skills. They are usually sold as legs and head separately. Many tripods have adjustable legs. Tripods under this category weigh 4-12 pounds, extends up-to 60-75 inches and can be wrapped to anywhere from 22-37 inches very conveniently.
• Traveler Tripods: Since these are specially designed for the people who travel distant locations, considering their ease they are lightweight and small-enough that they can be easily accommodated with other photography equipments. A traveler tripod is compact and light enough but can be extended to a reasonable height for shooting without requiring you to slouch. Customarily, these pods weigh around 2 ponds, extendable up-to 60 inches and can be folded adequately to around 16 inches.

Carbon Fiber Tripods: Carbon fiber tripods are about 30% lighter and noticeably more rigid than a tripod made up of aluminum. These tripods are very sturdy yet light in weight (3.5-4.5 pounds) and  reduces or deaden the vibration to a large extent, contributing to sharper images. Can stretch up-to 55-65 inches and fold-able up-to 20-25 inches very easily. These tripods are wonderful to work with, especially if you have to take them any great distance.

Last thing you need to do is saving your investment. When not in use, store it in a bag or something of a sort to avoid damages.

Hope all of the above factors will help you in deciding which pod to choose and pick. What other factors do you consider when looking for a tripod?

Camera filters are cheap yet excellent accessories which directly affect the camera results. Optics play a critical and pivotal role in photography. Camera filters are special glasses which can be attached to the camera lens to achieve various optical effects. Just like you wear sunglasses to protect your eyes, filters can be used to protect the camera lens, to adjust the brightness of the scene or for inducing special effects. They help you achieve different results depending on common requirements of photographers and what the scene(s) call for. Filters come in different sizes and you should check the size of the circumference of the camera-lens’s front element. A typical lens most of the time has it mentioned in mm (millimeters) on the rim of the lens. Here’s a list of 5 must have filters for your photographic kit.

1. Ultra Violet Filters

   UV filters also known as skylight filters or protectors are a must for any photographer. The primary use of this filter is to protect camera lens against scratches, fingerprints and other damages. Ultra violet rays tend to cast a hazy effect in the final results. Using a UV filter this can be avoided to a large extent. A skylight filter should be left on at your lens at all times to avoid damages. Hoya is one of the most popular brands for filters. Hoya UV filters come in 52mm, 55mm, 58mm, 62mm, 67mm, 72mm, 77mm, 82mm.

2. Polarizing Filter

   Polarizers are used to reduce the glares from reflective surfaces. They thus enhance the color, saturation and contrast of the scene. They are commonly used for capturing plants, foliage, water or shiny objects. Polarizers tend to offset the exposure by about one stop (1EV) and thus are not recommended for low light scenes and portraits. Polarisers have to be adjusted by rotating the filter till you achieve the desired effect. You can easily find polarizing filters in 52mm, 55mm, 58mm, 62mm, 67mm, 72mm, 77mm, 82mm at Adorama.

3. Graduated Neutral Density Filter

   While shooting sunsets or landscapes the picture usually appear underexposed or overexposed killing entire beauty of the scene. This happens because the dynamic range (the brightness levels) of the scene is too high for the camera to capture the scene with proper exposure in all parts. This is where GND (Graduated Neutral Density) filters comes in handy. The GND filter has a gradient of a dark shade at the top to total transparency at the bottom. This helps tone down the sun or any source of light thereby bringing down the dynamic range of the scene. See some examples of GND filter effect here. Pick up a GND filters of the required size: 49mm, 52mm, 55mm, 58mm, 62mm, 72mm, 77mm.

4. Neutral Density Filter

   Neutral Density filters find application in extremely bright scenes. Extremely bright scenes cause the camera to meter and expose at a very small aperture, a high shutter speed and low ISO. For example shooting the mid-day sun; it is impossible to capture it with the camera since the camera technically doesn’t even support the fast shutter-speed required to make the proper exposure. ND filters darken the entire scene to the normal brightness levels so that the camera can capture them. If you like to shoot into the sun or reflections etc, you need a ND filter. ND filters allow you to capture the subject without compromising the camera settings (exposure, aperture etc). These are the most basic and widely used filters which are available in 49mm, 52mm, 55mm, 58mm, 62mm, 67mm, 72mm, 77mm.

5. Soft Focus Filter

   The soft focus filter is a special effects filter. It eliminates the sharpness or blemishes in the skin of the subject and brings in a beautiful hazy and dreamy effect to your portraits. This works well for all portraits be it kids, females or seniors. If you want to capture the facial texture and characteristics then you may want to avoid this filter. These filters are commonly available in55mm, 62mm, 67mm, 72mm, 77mm.

The good thing about filters is that they don’t cost a fortune and they give you some awesome effects and help you tune light as per your requirements. And as you recall, you can do anything to a photograph during post-processing but light remains a feature that can’t be altered once captured. Thus it’s wise to correct the lighting during the capture phase itself. Welcome to the world of filters. Remember to go for a well known brand with good quality optics else it will do more harm then good by delivering you poor light characteristics. Which ones do you commonly use?
