Holding The Camera

A digital camera if not held properly, there is no amount of software trickery can

rescue a bad picture. Usually people can make silly mistake like draping a stray
finger over the lens and also creating camera shake because of bad posture.
When using a Dslr camera, a photographer usually make a good grip with their
right hand on the camera and make sure their pointer finger can move freely
where the other fingers getting a good grip on the camera. The other hand
holding the base of the camera on the lens where the thumb finger on the left
of the lens. Draw both elbows toward the body and shoot. By doing a proper

properly with the two legs having a good stand like a tripod base.

Using a Tripod
Tripod is one of the useful tools that used by most photographers. It comes with
many different sizes and weight. Now a day, there many tripod has been design
for certain type of shot. Most common one is the pan and tilt head but most landscape photographer prefer using the ball head tripod because of easy
fix of its tilt. But ball head tripod are not suitable for holding zoom lenses. For zoom lenses that normally used for sport photography and also wildlife
photographer is the Wimberley head. By using a tripod, it can keep the camera steady under slow shutter speed. A tripod prevent blurred and out of focus result.
