Step Closer
When taking photos try stepping closer to your subject. This can benefit your photography skills in a few ways. It can cut out the background, which isn’t always necessary, giving composition to your photo and focusing on the subject.
Keep a Steady Camera
When taking a photo make sure you are steady on your feet, standing on solid ground, keep your elbows tight into your body and hold the camera tight to your face and with two hands. Sometimes, holding your breathe, as you push the shutter lease down, can help prevent any unnecessary shakes!
Reduce Blurry Photos
One of the most frustrating things is when you’ve been having fun taking photos and then you see the photos and notice they are blurry. To help prevent this you should not set your shutter speed any lower than the focal length of your lens. As a general rule, you should not go below 1/60th (shutter speed) as this is generally the slowest a hand can hold a camera without shake. If you want to go below 1/60th you are starting to get into tripod territory or I would advise you rest the camera on a solid surface.
