Getting Rid Of the Shakes

摘要

YOU KNEW IT WOULD make a great snapshot the instant you saw it. Unfortunately, your camera didn't. The resulting photo was blurry. And the moment-a child blowing out the birthday candles, a dog catching a Frisbee, a waterfall shot from the car-has passed. Chances are your camera, and your photo, was the victim of your own hand. It's tough to hold a camera steady enough to get a flawless shot, especially one of those slim and stylish ultracom-pacts. That's especially true if you're shooting under less-than-perfect conditions. Indoors, say, or outdoors at dusk. At night, in the shade, or on cloudy days. In a church or museum where you can't use a flash. From an awkward position or a moving vehicle. For extreme close-up or telephoto shots. Get the picture?
