Back to basics - Holding your camera

November 22nd, 2007 by Os

Digital School Photography lists out some of the ways to hold your camera properly. Holding your camera properly is not just for looking "professional", it all adds up to the stability of your camera. Stability means your photos will turn out sharper!

Here’s what Darren at DPS recommends:

    1. Use your right hand to grip the right hand end of the camera.
    2. The positioning of your left hand
    3. If you’re shooting using the view finder
    4. Add extra stability by leaning against a solid object

My little addition to these tips is:

Drink less caffeine - Caffeine causes your hands to tremble when taken in high amounts (4-5 cups a day) so try to keep it low.
