[QUOTE="Scott Murray, post: 243738, member: 9753"] [FONT=book antiqua][COLOR=#181818] Sorry just catching up on missed posts and just found this. Pull your elbows in to your body and exhale completely before depressing the shutter. When you’re working with a wide aperture or low shutter speed (or both), even a breath can introduce shake (I have a habit of holding my breathe). Pulling your elbows tight to your body can really help keep you steady. I also press my elbows firmly into my chest for even greater stability.[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=book antiqua][COLOR=#181818]You can create your own tripod by resting your elbow on your knee while in a seated position.
