I’ve been shooting for several years now and have always know using a tripod is one of the keys to a perfectly sharp image.  Sure, mount the camera to the tripod.  Check. Take picture. Check. Perfect sharpness. Not.  Say what?  When I take my pictures to the computer for viewing and post I find them to be OK but not with the sharpness I’ve always wanted and a little fuzzy.  Did I move the camera?  Did that building move? It better not have.  And most importantly, I enjoy processing my images using HDR techniques.  If the camera moves, then the shot is ruined.  If the subject moves then the shot is ruined.  So after these years of shooting I finally put a couple of brain cells together and decide to use my computer as the remote cause adjusting my settings between each HDR exposure was causing slight changes to the image captured and affecting pixel registration.  My computer allowed me to capture each exposure and change the settings without touching the camera at all.  I used SOFORTBILD to tether to the camera.  It’s free and simple to use.  I also found that a little sharpening doesn’t hurt either.  Go figure.
