Ever wonder why your shots aren't sharp? I explain the main reasons for blurry photos and give tips on how to reduce them. Wildlife photography is hard and soft shots are normal, but we can increase our keepers by using a few key techniques and strategies.

When you're going through your shots before edit to pick out the good ones to work on, you'll notice the second or third are particularly sharp vs the first in a burst sometimes, so pay attention when you're culling. Short bursts over long burst for best results. :)

As I understand it, heat haze is the result of the density differences in the air--hotter equals less dense. A hot object heats the air near it, but the air is always moving so you get colder and warmer mixing and moving. Light refracts differently through media of different densities, so that mixing and moving of differently dense air equals inconsistent focus. A similar phenomena gave us that "floating" ship in Britain recently. Astronomers talk about "the seeing" as a way of referring to the maximum sharpness you can get on a given night due to fluctuations in atmospheric density (in that case, due to high level winds causing turbulence).

@Duade 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Bill, very interesting, so in theory you will get the best quality when the air is single density. I wonder how often low levels of heat haze impact our images. Cheers, Duade 👍

I know it's a journey, but man... Duade's 'soft' shots are way better than any of my keepers Great explanation btw Duade. After watching your video, I am going to try to rely less on my camera's AF (Canon M50 / EF-S 55-250mm) and go more with single point AF. Also, for me, I get excited when I see a bird I want to photograph, so I often forget everything but the basics. I like the idea of a formula based on your subject: Perch birds 1/500, Water birds 1/1000, birds in flight 1/2000 (double the shutter speed each time)

In addition to having to crop too much when taking pictures at too great a distance, I think it's easy to have unrealistic expectations of even the best autofocus systems when trying to focus on a subject that is very small in the frame. I am guilty of this over and over. I think it will be reassuring to new photographers that experienced and skilled photographers like you still get soft shots. Thanks for another great video, Duade.

Woody, thanks for your comment and I totally agree with you, it can be a real challenge seeing shots on social media and then wondering why your own shots don't look the same. Hopefully my videos will help people understand what is required to get those types of shots. Cheers, Duade

Easily the best video I haveever viewed on this subject! Rates a 10 out of 10! Not only is the subject covered in great deal from every possible angle the comments are totally honest anddevoid of the usual BS designed to encourage the purchase of more expensive gear. We all get soft shots on a regular basis for the reasons covered. But in my experience one of the most common causes is that today's photo gear is so complex that many photogrphers have all the wrong settings set. You MUST read the camera manuals if you ever hope to use your gear to its maximum capacity!

So many great ideas. Definitely going to try the focus defocus idea. I use a Canon 80d with a Sigma 120-400. I was certain there was a problem with the lens focus. I determined it was more likely my skill or lack thereof, since one day last fall I shot a moose and the image was unbelievably sharp. It was very sunny, moose was not moving, no need to crop..essentially the best conditions. So I realized then that it was user error causing my soft shots. One other fix I did recently was buy a Canon 300mm f4 so that if light was low or I was in darker settings my odds of getting a sharp image might increase. Anyway love your channel and your photography is stunning. Wish we had some of those beautiful bird species here in Eastern Ontario (Canada)!!

Another consideration is ISO and sensor size. With BIF shots we're crunched by the exposure triangle: we need fast speeds and stopped-down lenses for a bit of wiggle room via greater DOF. So ISO climbs. But the experts say that every stop more of ISO means a stop less of dynamic range, and that means there's less detail we can recover in post. It helps to have a low-res full frame sensor here, although sensor signal to noise ratios have been improving over the years. By using APS-C or M43s we get more lens reach but we lose out on light-gathering ability and can't run ISOs as high as we do with FF.

Thanks Ern, that is interesting re the dynamic range and I have noticed that at higher ISO. Yes, BIF is a real challenge at times that is for sure, I don't usually have too many issues with ISO as I only really do BIF in nice light as an overcast sky makes it almost impossible to get nice shots.

A really helpful video to highlight why I sometimes, quite often, get soft shots. Thanks for sharing this.

Finally, I believe I found a video that covers it all and it was so easy to follow! I've been having some soft images of birds so surely one or two of these will fix my problem. Thanks, great video. You have a new subscriber.
