Tips on Shooting Interior Photographs

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

** Always use a tripod **

  • Use a Tripod or something equivalent to assist you
  • Set the camera to aperture mode (if available)
  • Set the aperture to either 8 or more
  • Set the camera ISO (if available) to lowest possible setting (ex:100) / Turn off AUTO ISO (if available)
  • Turn off Image Stabilization (if available) for either lens/body or both
  • Set the camera to timer “optional”
  • Take the shot!

Always remember what you see on the camera screen is not always perfect, transfer the photographs to the computer to see the REAL results.
