Keep Your Camera Steady
More
great digital photos are lost to "blur" than anything else. For
clear, sharp images it takes a concerted effort to hold your camera
steady and avoid "camera shake." It
takes practice and concentration to free-hand it, especially in low
light conditions, but nearly everyone can improve.
Composing your shot using the LCD
screen, holding the camera away from you at arm's length, is not very
stable. Instead, use your camera's viewfinder, holding the camera
firmly anchored to your cheek and forehead using both hands.
For greater stability you can also hold
the camera pressing your elbows firmly against your body, or hold your
camera against a
wall, pole or some other solid object for support. Use a tripod,
monopod or set your camera on a solid surface in true low light
conditions.
When snapping the shot, relax: don't
tense up. Slowly and gently press the shutter being careful not to
jerk the camera when you depress the button.
