The Photographer’s Enemy: Camera Shake

If you saw my shot yesterday, you know that I have recently been struggling with inspiration. While I was thinking about my lack of inspiration being my enemy, I also realized that the delivery of my new tripod had bested a different enemy: camera shake. I had been trying to use some new macro filters last week, and the camera shake was really causing a lot of my shots to be blurry. I was so happy to use my new tripod yesterday and get a really crisply focused shot. So, what else to do today but take a clear photo of my sister’s camera and make it blurry!
ooh that pesky camera shake. Great idea for a photo!

@rynce Yeah, I hope that I use it often because it really does make a difference.

@mcdougall Thanks.
@kimmiesue I had a crappy one that we bought on vacation, and it literally fell apart when I was trying to shoot in a panic one night. Not cool!
@nattybabe Thank you Nat!

neat idea for a photo!! i am HORRIBLE for camera shake as well, and if i am trying to get a photograph of something small...like an insect, i find i am holding my breath bc i dont wanna shake. hahaha. I am sure that only makes it worse tho!!
June 8th, 2011  
Haha... Good one
June 8th, 2011  
Haha - we work to hard to make it sharp and then we blur it!! And so it goes!! Well done ;)

Hehe - nice illustration of this annoying problem!

Cool idea. Great shot.

Oh yes, many a shot of mine looks great on the camera only to find it's blurry once it's on the computer screen.
