When you're taking pictures, is very important that the camera doesn't wiggle as you take the picture! Some helpful hints for keeping this from happening are:
- Use both hands to steady the camera. One-handed picture taking is hazardous to your photographic health!
- If you're using a fancy SLR camera, be sure your exposure time is set equal to or greater than your film speed (ex. If you're using 200 speed film, have it set to 1/250, 1/500, or 1/1000). Otherwise use a table, wall or something else steady to steady yourself as you take the photo.
- Most point-and-shoot cameras have this film/exposure time ratio "built-in" to their cameras.**
- The best way to hold a camera in a comfortable position but rigidly is to form an imaginary tripod with the camera pressed against your forehead and your elbows against your body. Take a breath, partially exhale, and gently press the shutter button.
- Be careful not to get any of your fingers or the camera chord in front of the flash or the lens!!
