How to hold your camera correctly
Photography tips / 4 Comments / 8th November 2018

The best way to get sharp photos is to use a tripod, but if that’s not possible, or you choose to hand-hold your camera, you need to know how to properly hold it.
Today I’d like to share with you a simple video tutorial I made to show you how to hold your DSLR camera correctly, to prevent camera shake and get sharper photos.

I’m also sharing how you can improve your chances of getting a sharp photograph when you are hand-holding your camera and are using a slow shutter speed.

This is my first video, so please bear with me – it’s far from perfect, and I’m sure you can tell that I’m way more comfortable behind a camera that in front of it…but I do hope you find it useful :)

Enjoy!

Hi Cristina,
Thiese Aare such fabulous reminders of things I have learned but of course forget to do. And my tripod lives by my desk, but I get lazy, it really makes a difference.

The burst mode is the best tip.

Again thank you for taking the time to share,

Ann Davis

    I’m so glad you found the video helpful Ann! I understand about the tripod…but it makes a huge difference indeed. Thank you for your kind words!

Ahh, now this was a really helpful little video Cristina! As a hobby nail artist my photography is mainly still life/product photography for which I almost always need and use a tripod, but I feel somewhat less confident going hand held. I will try to remember the arm position and breathing tips for outdoor photography and experiment with the burst mode, which I’ve not tried before. Thank you!
