Tamron A20 User Manual

Fading light is no problem for the 28-300mm 
VC lens, which is able to capture every detail 
in the water and in the sails of this graceful 
sloop at 300mm.

You may not be able to avoid the crowds on the 
beach, but by compressing the shot vertically and 
keeping the aperture small, you’ll be able to capture 
every multicolored umbrella and well-motioned beach 
body in stellar detail.

If you’re privy to a pyrotechnics show while on vacation, keep in mind that there will be a center point 
to the main explosion, followed by another three to four seconds of embers spiraling to the end of 
their trail. Keep your shutter open the entire time to record the whole exposure and the ensuing 
ember shower.

Work both white sand and sky into your shot, 
tapping into the wideangle end of the lens to

You’re on vacation, but the streets of your destination location are as busy as ever. Show off all the 
automotive activity by waiting until the moment a red stoplight turns green – then you’ll be able to 
illustrate the movement at the front of the pack by blurring the cars at the head of the line.
