Maximize the Usage of Tripod and Cable Release

These two tools I rarely leave when hunting landscape. Although I still see some colleagues who did not take the tripod. For some reason do not have it, lazy to take it because of heavy tripod, taken was also not often used, inconvenient, do not need, etc.

Actually with the combination of these two tools we will be able to better maximize our landscape photos later. By using a tripod we will be able to better ensure that the results will remain sharp, other than that when combined with the cable release we can "play the game" creative with the slow speed and also to explore the star trail and staying up all night pictures when excited and cannot sleep quickly.

1. Sharp images.
The sharp of images are determined by many aspects. Among other things used speed, aperture selected and stability when the shutter is pressed.

Speed
Speed that we used will affect on how fast the lenses react later to capture the incoming light. The faster speed will be less "wobbles" that received so the image will be sharp.
There are easy ways that can be used to estimate how quickly we can offset the "wobble" that will make the picture blur. We use the velocity closest to the focal length of the lens that we use. So if we use FL 10 we can use the speed of 1/15.
But it also depends on the position of the hands, feet and body as well as of course our balance.
Aperture also affects how much space would we produce in sharp. The larger the aperture we choose (e.g. f/1.8 or f 2/8) will be smaller sharp space that we can, while small aperture (e.g. f/11 or f/16) will result in sharply wider space.
For landscape I usually use aperture f / 8 - f/11 hyper focal and use simple principles in order to get a sharp from front to back.
But with the use of small aperture also affects later on a slower pace compared with using wide aperture
The more stable the camera when the shutter is pressed then the resulting image will also be free of wobble. Without your knowing when your finger pressing the shutter button it can still cause oscillation that might make you get less sharp images, especially when using a low speed.
There are facilities in the mirror lock your DSLR camera that you can use if you really want to be sure your camera shake free. Another option is to use a cable release to reduce wobble caused by the touch of a finger.

Alternatively, if it does not have a cable release can also be tricked by using a timer (2 seconds or 10 seconds) so that the resulting hand vibration can be minimized.€

2. More creative with speed
I often try to capture the movement of the low speed because it can produce a more dynamic picture. Especially when photographing water (rivers, seas, waterfalls).
With the slow speed we will be able to see the world not as we see firsthand the eye.
The river turned into a fast-flowing silky.
Sea level looks to be like a cloud of mist.
Waterfall that trickles down to look like a layer of netting.

3. Uncover the scenic beauty of the night
Tonight when we see with the eye just looks darker and less color. But unlike captured by the camera sensor, camera sensor captures night as well during the day although strongly influenced by the exposure that we choose. We will be left amazed with the beauty that nature has to offer at night.
