Location Portraiture - Technique

When taking a location portrait, there are certain pieces of equipment and techniques to use. You will need to use tripod when taking the photo, as you want your camera to as stable as possible. You are going to be using a very fast shutter speed, maybe around 1/200 of a second. In order for the subject of the photo to stand out, you will need to make sure that you focus upon them sharply and shoot on an aperture of f5.6, which will create a narrow depth of field in which the foreground will be sharply in focus and the background will be completely out of focus.
