Playing off the last photo tip, I would like to mention one easy way to improve your photographs and lower the blur factor. Hold your camera tight! Believe it or not, there is a better way to hold your camera.
It is obvious where your right hand will be. That is, holding the right side of the camera with the forefinger on the shutter release. However, your left hand can be positioned in several different areas of your camera. People often hold their large, clunky cameras in a very awkward position that does not maximize steadiness. The first few photographs illustrate what I am talking about.
The best way to hold your camera is to cradle it. By cradling your camera and lens, holding your camera from the bottom and not the side, you will have a more comfortable feel for long-term shoots and manage to brace your camera in a way that will help you capture sharper images. The last three photographs demonstrates the correct way to hold a camera.
So get your hands in position for the best possible photographs you can take and shoot away by cradling that camera tight!
