Today I show you how I set up my camera to get more photographs in focus, from landscapes to sports and portraits, as well as all of those family events you always get asked to bring your camera to!! 😆
So if you want to learn to focus like a pro and get less blurry photos, try this technique out.
I suppose you could called this a landscape photography vlog ... but I prefer on location landscape photography!
