Hi, I just got into photography, film in particular. Plz could I have tips on how to take less blurry photos, how to take photos at night, and how to learn more about composition and framing. I'm thinking of buying a tripod

Also, I have a Praktica BMS. Is there a shutter cable that'll work on that?

Pic rel is the best picture I've taken so far IMO. I can tell I've got a long way to go

>how to take less blurry photos
Pay attention to your shutter speed. Learn how to use the distance markers on your lens.
>how to take photos at night
Download a light meter app and use your phone to meter for very dark scenes. Then use a tripod and bulb mode to get correct exposure. Also don't forget to factor in the reciprocity factor of your film. (for color negative film)
>how to learn more about composition and framing
just google that, youtube search it, etc. you'll learn. sometimes try to imitate your favorite photos.
>I'm thinking of buying a tripod
I have k&f concept's travel tripod it's pretty good for the cheap price. goes up to about 70 inches tall I guess.

TYVM, I've been bumping up shutter speed to account for low light way beyond the handheld limit. Tripod it is. Is a shutter cable necessary to avoid shake? Since I can't find one for my camera.

Otherwise Thanks a tonne for the advice

Oh and btw the two highest settings on my Lem's are 3m and infinity, so I keepnit on infinity since I never shoot stuff closer than 3m

I've never used one desu. I just tighten up the tripod quite a bit and then keep my finger on the button for the entire exposure.
>I keep it on infinity since I never shoot stuff closer than 3m
does it have aperture markings? learn how to use those for depth of field.
for example on f/16 focused at 3m, on a 35mm lens everything from 2m~ to infinity is in focus. even though it's not set to infinity.
this could mean on wider apertures (f/2 & so) the proper focus point for you could be between the 3m mark and the infinity mark.
or sometimes you could get sharper results setting it to 3m instead of infinity even when the subject is 6m away. it depends.
