About Mikael Barnard
Expertise
I have much experience in photographing events and my most specialist area of knowledge is alternative photographic processes. I may well answer questions on broader topics of photography but only if my sphere of knowledge extends to the question in hand. Please feel free to ask away though!

Experience
I have both a GCSE and an A-level in photography and much experience with event photography, I now persue photography as a hobby.

Education/Credentials
GCSE photography- B. A.S. Level- C. A-Level- D- nothing wrong with my work, seems the exam board are pretty narrow minded when it comes to alternative photographic processes :-(

Topic: Photography



Expert: Mikael Barnard

Subject: Photo Blurs (Photography)

Question
Why and how does a photo blur occur?


Answer
Hi Trey. The most common cause of a blurred photo is when the photographer moves the camera when taking the photo. This is the main purpose a tripod serves, to eliminate this movement. The proportion of the blur will be in relation to how far the camera is moved when the photo is being taken. The only other cause of blur I can think of is a particularly badly made or very dirty lens. Hope this is what you wanted to know. Best wishes.

 Mikael Barnard.
