Why use a Tripod in Photography?

Video Transcript

"Well everybody knows that the camera is the most important tool for a photographer. Not everybody knows that the tripod comes in at a close second. It's very important when you're a photographer to always have the tripod with you. You never know if you're going to need it for a low light situation. You never know if you're going to need it to have the camera in the exact same position every time you're taking a photo. And you never know if you're going to need it just to allow yourself to step away from the camera for little bit as well. Tripods, like I said, I really can't say enough about them. If you don't have one, you need to go out and get one, and just make sure you always have it with you because you'll never know when you need it and a lot of photographers can look at an image and tell if it was shot with a tripod or not. Because typically an image shot with a tripod is going to have a much crisper look to it and everything is going to be sharp and in focus, and when you're taking photographs, that's what you want. You want things to be as crisp as possible, as sharp as possible and as in focus as possible."
