Re: Lock Photography and Video tips

The camera I use for photos is my Canon Rebel with a Macro lens attached.
When I take a picture I make sure that there is plenty of ambient light and that the flash is turned off as locks and keys are very reflective. In order to get a good picture when there is less than perfect lighting, I put the camera on a tripod and increase the exposure time.
For my videos I use a Canon s3 on a tripod.
I am right handed and hold my pick in my right hand. For my earlier videos the camera was pointing over my right shoulder. However my hand hid the plug from the camera so I moved the camera to my left side and I think I get better results.
