Blurry pics

[mossie]

I've noticed one or two apologising for blurred pics.
When I was taught to shoot a rifle we were taught to squeeze the trigger in that little pause between breathing out and then breathing in again. Check yourself and you will find that at rest there is a gap of maybe a quarter of a second when you are still.
That is when you take the photo, as well as supporting yourself against a convenient wall or tree or something solid. Do not push against the support, the only muscles you should be using are those directly operating the camera, all the others should be at rest. Including the tongue.
End of lecture.

With the smaller digital cameras, the delay is a lot more than
1/4 of a second so the photographer needs to pay attention
and practice to avoid blurry photographs.

If the shutter speed is going to be a little slow, I set the timer (new cameras have two second timers) and compose and let the camera take the photo. It reduces handheld camera shake.
