Hand Held Camera Shake

I'm here today to share with you a couple of easy tips which will help avoid a very common problem in photography: camera shake.

Wow! I thought that was a beautiful shot until I saw it onscreen and realized it was blurry. I don t know why!

The problem is most people have no clue how to hold a camera. They hold it every which way. And when they go to shoot a picture, they push the button down halfway to focus. And then when they push it all the way to shoot, they move the camera.

 

Hand Held Camera Trick

OK. So how do you do it the right way?

Make yourself into a human tripod! I know that might sound strange, but it works.

First, you cradle the camera in two hands and then bring your elbows in against your rib cage. Then notice that by doing that my palms have joined together right at the wrist, and I've got a very stable base.

Now I take a deep breath. I exhale, focus, and shoot.


 

When to use Hand Held Camera Trick

Making yourself a human tripod works great for action shots, group portraits like this one, family photos and even candids of the kids.

This technique works just as well for larger cameras such as digital SLRs. The only difference is you cradle the camera in one hand and use the other hand for shooting.

This technique also works really well for little digital video cameras. Most people shoot one-handed and they wonder why their video makes everyone seasick. Join your hands together in a comfortable way. Put your elbows in up against your ribcage, Now, when you pan, everything is going to look much more steady and much more professional.

Thanks for watching.
