Want Better Photos? You Need Stability
by WA Davies
When you want to get the absolute best results from your photography, you'll need to employ a tripod.
A tripod stabilizes the camera, leading to much sharper images than you're generally likely to get without it. This is especially true when it comes to taking photos in poor light.
Vibration control
These days, many consumer cameras come with built-in vibration control. More expensive cameras may move vibration control to the lens.
Vibration control works by sensing camera shake (caused by your hands when you hold the camera), and moving the lens (or sensor) to compensate.
Vibration control is certainly a good thing, allowing a photographer to capture a sharper image than would otherwise be possible. And without the weight and inconvenience of a tripod.
But vibration control isn't as effective as a good tripod.
Faster shutter speed
You increase your odds of a non-blurry photo when you crank up the shutter speed. This helps counter the effects of camera shake, especially when you're using a telephoto lens.
Of course, higher shutter speeds aren't always available to you. In low-light conditions, you're not going to have that luxury. That's where high ISO comes in.
High ISO
Modern DSLR cameras have the ability to take amazing pictures using higher ISO settings. The resulting images are far cleaner than film (at equivalent ISO settings) used to be.
If your photo requires a high shutter speed (e.g. to capture fast action), the ability to take a clean image at higher ISO settings is essential. If you don't need a high shutter speed (e.g. for a slow moving scene), setting a higher ISO is no match for a tripod.
The tripod is king
There's no getting around it. If you're serious about taking truly spectacular photos, you're going to need a good tripod.
As with many things, you get what you pay for. The basic rule of thumb with tripods, is to get the best you can afford.

Helvellyn, The Lake District, England
(Please reduce the screen image size for better quality.) An ascent of Helvellyn, England's third highest mountain. The climb starts in Patterdale and ascends to the 'Hole in The Wall', taking in views of the southern part of the Helvellyn range. The climb then crosses Striding Edge to the summit of Helvellyn, descending via Swirral Edge, before taking in the summit of Catstye Cam and the view over Ullswater. The descent then takes in the view of Helvellyn from Red Tarn, before returning to The Hole in The Wall. NB: Sadly, two people have recently died on Striding Edge due to the adverse weather conditions (January 2008). Please equip yourself properly and take great care if attempting the climb in the winter.
