Lens quality is so good today that even the least expensive digital cameras can take acceptably sharp pictures. So why is it that "blurry" pictures are the chief complaint among most photographers?

In order to get good, sharp photographs, you've got to hold the camera very steady or use some type of camera support. Additionally, you've got to release the shutter gently. Whether you're using a point-and-shoot camera or a DSLR, the best technique is to rest the camera in the palm of one hand and squeeze the shutter button gently with your free index finger.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.fodors.com/travel-photography/article-avoiding-camera-shake-71/"><P>Finally, don't rely on image-editing "sharpening" tools to save images blurred by camera shake. While these tools will increase overall sharpness a small amount, they won't salvage images that are just plain blurry. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/94454B21-8444-43E9-AE41-D56D5812A1F2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
