5 Things To Remember When Hand Holding Your Camera

Here are some tips that I have learned, that will improve your images when hand holding your camera.

1. Keep your elbows tucked towards your chest to help steady the camera, this will improve the quality of your photos.
2. Use fast glass, try to use a lens that is f/2.8 or faster.
3. Remember its hard for most anyone to hand hold anything slower than 1/60 of a second. You have two options to increase the shutter speed, one is shoot wide open at the lowest aperture your lens has, the other is raising the ISO. Just remember if you raise the ISO to much you will reduce the clarity of your images.
4. Steady your self by leaning against something sturdy
5. Don't simply push the shutter button, roll your finger across the shutter release
