<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 114856, member: 4552"]If you don't have a tripod or some other means to hold your camera, you'll probably never get great clarity in your photos. Some people I know have actually built a stand for the camera to sit facing face down with slightly adjustable legs for height. Another thing is always sufficeint lighting. If the weather is decent where your at try taking photos outside. Put a coin on a dark object such as a bar-b-que grill (unlite) or a car hood. If your car is not dark, use a neighbors car. Just don't get caught. Try not to take the photos in direct sunlight. If you hold the camera in your hands, take a deep breath, hold your breath and take the photo. The reason for holding your breath is that if you are breathing, your chest is expanding and contracting and moving your arms also. This reaction continues to your hands and even people that have steady hands will get some movement from breathing. </p><p>If everything you'll read here still fails, then I would suggest a few Martinis. That will not improve the photos but you won't care as much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
