Top Tethering Tips | Take and Make Great Photography with Gavin Hoey

In these days of wireless everything, it might seem like a strange choice to deliberately tether your camera to a laptop but there are some seriously impressive benefits in doing so. The most obvious reason to tether is possibly the most persuasive, but as photographer Gavin Hoey explains USB tethering offers a lot more than simply seeing your images on a big screen.

Working in his small home studio Gavin starts by running through the basic kit he uses to tether a camera to a tablet PC or laptop. Then he shows how he uses USB tethering to double-check exposure, focus, and the small details in an image before starting a full photo session.

Gavin also has tethering tips for using a second screen to help your models get the perfect pose and to show clients exactly what’s happening on set, something that can be hard for photographers to explain clearly during a busy photo session.

And then there’s one of tethered captures’ hidden secrets, automatically backup images, which Gavin makes use of to create a very quick composite image in Photoshop.
