My first landscape shot

Here it is. My first landscape trial at Esplanade outdoor theater with Clubsnap member organized by SunChasers.

Got one important tip from them. The most important thing for landscape shooting is tripod. No matter how expensive your camera is, if you are using lousy tripod; then the photos that you take will be lousy as well. It can be equated with lousy tripod, your camera would be lousy as well.

I learnt that first hand as my tripod is those lousy tripod. Those cheapo tripod freebies when I bought my Nikon D90. The seniors showed me why my tripod is lousy and explained to me what's the difference between a better tripod and those cheapo tripod. Really learn my lesson.

No matter how many shots I tried, my photo IQ is never gonna be nicely focus. It will always has the soft focus issue due to my tripod not sturdy and stable enough. As the shutter released inside the camera, it will create a slight vibration. Though we might think it is nothing, but it is actually everything for landscape photography.

Anyway, I am sharing out one of my shots this evening. Photos that are taken with my cheapo tripod. As most of my friends know, I am not good at Lightroom or any Photoshop. So this photo I present to you are the image directly from my camera. Anyway, I resize it so that it wont so big and easier for me to upload to this blog. :)
