Heat rising from ground or water bends light and softens your photos, even when they look sharp on your camera's screen. Temperature differences between the surface and air above cause the distortion.

It was a beautiful sunny day. Everything looked perfect. Your photos seemed in focus when you checked them on your camera. But when you got home, what happened? Let's talk about it.
Hey, what happened?
If everything looks sharp on the back of your camera, you're probably dealing with atmospheric distortion. Which is basically caused by a difference between the temperature of the ground or water that you're shooting over and the air above it. So check out my full-length video to find out ways that you can minimize atmospheric distortion. Ah, the atmosphere! Ah, the atmosphere! Thanks so much for watching. I'll see you next time. Bye-bye.
