There are few things in the life of a photographer that bring more dismay than an off-focus image, especially when they only took one or two shots of their subject. It is far worse, of course, when the shot cannot be replicated. Images that may look great on the camera’s LCD appear far too soft or mis-focused when pulled up on the computer monitor and the photographer is left with a heavy heart and a cluttered mental slate. It can be a difficult thing to deal with, but it can be avoided with a change of habits and a little technical know how! In this article I’m not going to go over every single technique that is used to help photographers achieve sharper images, but I am going to give you a list of techniques that I have learned through trial and error that have greatly helped me. Under every tip and technique will be a discussion of it – I hope that this article will help you on future shoots!
