“The Hand Of God” Red Carpet – The 78th Venice International Film Festival

The 40x optical zoom on the Canon PowerShot SX740 HS gives you the ability to get in closer to everything that’s happening at a festival. To use the zoom to its full potential, Ben advises: “Try to keep your hands as steady as possible while shooting at high zoom. Keep your hands solid, wait for the right moment and give yourself enough flexibility in the frame that if the subject you’re shooting – be it the singer, the guitarist, a member of the crowd – moves suddenly, you won’t lose the photo. So don’t zoom in super, super close; a little bit of extra width is much more useful than being in too close.”
