Camera Shake is the cause of more soft fuzzy pictures than anything else. I can’t tell you how many people have asked me why their pictures aren’t sharp and …

Hi Mike, I am a first year photography student, and I have to say that your
videos are so simply explained and demonstrated that I am learning a HUGE
amount from watching, and my fears are now turning into excitement once
again. Thank you so much for posting your tips, they are very much
appreciated. Sharing you on Facebook right now :)
Hi mike like to thank you for your tips. im a slow learner and understand
you very well .you speak to fast as a lot do so happy Christmas to your and
your family,and look forward to next year. Allen
Best photography tips :)
Again, thank you for clarifying the relationship between high shutter
speeds and apertures. I have a kit lens 18-140mm that I like and I always
get blurry photos when I’m zooming in beyond 85mm but I think I can change
it and get better now. Time to bring out my kit lens again!
Very well explained Mike! How about image stabilization on lenses?
Multiple things explained in an awesome way. Thanks a lit
I dont have a dslr or hutter speed and tripod i have a normal sony
cybershot but due to my finger pressing the shutter without zoom it gets
blur what can i do?
Very helpful. Thanks!
made mistake there i should read that you dont speak to fast and very easy
to understand
thank you
And on a crop sensor, how would I figure shutter speed minimum?
Thank you great tip I still makes same mistake too low of shutter speed ..
Will apply your rule from now on .. Thank you
I was shooting some flowers the other day @ 200 mm on a 55-200 lens,
getting some “fuzzy” shots. Didn’t know about the shutter speed/focal
length rule. Another great video…very informative. Thanks.
Thanks Mike, this has been very useful. I have a couple of questions though.
If I am using a camera with a crop sensor of 2:1, should the shutter speed
be doubled? ie. 50mm lens, 100m equivalent focal length = 1/100s shutter
speed?
Also, if the camera has Image Stabilization (in the body), how does this
affect the shutter speed? Can I use 1/50s or should I keep it at 1/100s?
Just got a camera to start taking pictures and videos as a hobbie, your
tips are the best! Many thanks!
thank you mike i was having really problems with camera shake with my
75-300mm lens when shootin wild life just tryed your tips in the garden &
hopefully you have solved my problem time to get out & take pictures
Great video! That Girl is gorgeous
Thanks Mike… this video did help me understand what mistake I was making
while shooting with a zoom lens. at a lower shutter speed.
Mike did you shoot this session in Manual, or A: aperture priority mode?
Thank you Mike, that explained my blurry pictures with 18-200 mm.
I really like the way you explain your video. I look forward to seeing all
your video’s.
great tips thanks.
Dear Mike,
Thanks for your suggestions. Brilliant topic and great explanation. Camera
shake make a lot of difference and kill our nice composed shots. As you
mentioned in the video, breathing spoiled many of my wonderful shots. I
also used exact technique, breath and then take a shot. But I learned those
techniques by experience very hard way….
Keep up good job. Waiting for your next video tutorial.
Fantastic info! But don’t you think the backgrounds are too bright?
A great way to avoid camera shake when doing portraits is to have the
handle of the camera on top. you get a much better grip on it and have more
of your hand on the camera. You can also get a battery grip for the bottom
of your camera and have it held correctly both landscape and portrait.
Very useful information in just 6 minutes of video, thank you Mike!
