[quote=desmond]I quite the novice on this stuff but I am sure I did not screw that up. I’ll keep trying. I just got a Nikon s9100 so I am making some videos with music, here is one from this weekend, I need a lot of work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlDL5Nn1S14%5B/quote%5D
On SLRs, you can help reduce camera shake by holding your hands closer together on the camera. It is a sharp-shooter’s trick. With a rifle (lets say right hand-right eye’d) you move your left hand to just beyond the trigger. It slows down the rate of the shake to just slow movement. If you are holding the camera body with the right hand, left hand on the telephoto lens, move your left hand as close as possible to the camera body.
Since the s9100 is a point and shoot, you can try pressing the side of the camera against a tree to steady it when using telephoto, or if you can get down to one knee, use the other knee to rest the bottom of the camera on. If you need to aim up and down, try placing one finger between the side of the camera and the tree and then pressing the camera into the finger and onto the tree. The top of a walking stick works also (trekking poles too).. Its kind of like an improvised tripod.
