If you don't have a tripod, hold the camera with both hands and keep it steady by leaning and bracing yourself against a wall, tree or pole, the roof of a car, anything. You can also hold your camera in both hands and brace your elbows against your body.

Another way to help minimize camera shake is to use the viewfinder instead of the LCD to compose shots. Bracing the camera against your face helps steady it.

Digital cameras with long telephoto lenses are more prone to camera shake when hand-held. Some cameras use image stabilization technology, which helps prevent images from becoming blurred due to camera shake.

Don't forget to depress the shutter-release button down in two steps. More photos have been improperly exposed and focused, as well as blurred, because individuals do not use the shutter-release button correctly.
