This is not a good way to hold your camera, when taking photos, you will most likely get blurry photos

How to avoid blurry photos!

This one I observe very often.

Ever wondered why your photos are not completely sharp? Well one of the answers to that question might be, that you where holding the camera like show in this photo.

Think about how little stability you give your hands out there in front of the body – hardly any and that means that a slight shake is going to give you blurry photo’s.

Now take a look at the next photo, here we see how the photographer is holding the camera close to the body/face, and very importantly the elbows are locked into place, touching the sides of the chest, also one foot is one step ahead of the other and they are about a good shoulders with apart.

This on the other hand is a much better way to hold your camera in a steady position and at the same time very comfortable.

So next time you want to grab a snapshot, think about this:

• Hold the camera close to your body – consider using the view finder  for better stability
• Keep one foot in front of your body and keep most of your weight on that
• Have your feet a good shoulders width apart

So remember these points when you are composing an image, I will be talking more about composing the image in a later blog post.
