Learning to hold your digital camera is one of the most basic skills you’ll ever learn. In fact it is so basic that many people take it for granted. However, holding your camera correctly is easy to get wrong which in turn leads to images that suffer from camera shake.

Of course you’ll also start seeing an improvement in your images!
