Do this
- Widest aperture, ISO Auto. Breathe out, elbows on a table or against a wall, take three frames in a row and keep the sharpest.
- Art behind glass: polariser on and rotate until your reflection disappears. Shoot at a slight angle rather than square-on.
- Restaurants: window light is the best light there is. Sit people side-on to the window.
- Check the rules — many galleries allow photos without flash, some don't.
If it goes wrong
- Blurred
- Shutter below 1/30 handheld. Brace harder, raise Max for Auto ISO to 12800, or accept it and enjoy the room.
- Orange or green colour cast
- Indoor lights. Leave it; it's correctable later from the RAW file.
