#10 Why you should buy a cable release for your SLR camera

Tip 9 talked about turning off the image stabilization on your lens when you have an SLR camera sitting on a tripod. If you followed this advice, you should have noticed sharper results.

“Hey, I want even sharper photographs” I hear you say! Instead of pressing the shutter button down yourself, invest in a cable release for your SLR camera.

I can’t count the amount of times I’ve seen photographers with tripods, but no cable release. Doesn’t this defeat the purpose? The reason photographers use tripods, is to reduce camera movement when taking photographs. So why touch the camera at all? Use a cable release instead!

    If you have a camera with a self timer that activates the shutter without you having to touch the camera, a cable release is an unneeded added expense and something else to carry around.
