Quick Picture Any Advice

[Koleswrath]

If you don't have a tripod try to match your shutter speed with your focal length. (eg. 100mm with 1/100th) of a second shutter speed. And take a few pictures in a row. You may find that your second or third picture is the sharpest. In this case you'll probably need to use a larger aperature which will reduce your depth of field (and make focusing on your subject difficult) but can create some really nice "bokeh" (blurred background). This makes your subject stand out.

And practice, practice, practice!

Thanks for the tips. I've had this camera for a long time but never really tried to master it, I will try to get some pictures later on and see what it can do.

I don't have a trip pod I try to use the back of a chair or the glass to stabilize haha!

Staples has a good cheap one for $35 stands 44" tall

Don't laugh but this is an old trick of desperation, most cameras will fit the screw where the lampshade goes onto a lamp. I have made some wacky looking tripods over the years;-)

Yea, tripods dont have to be anything fancy.

Just did a quick google search and found one for 20$. Im pretty sure there will be the same generic "cheapy tripod" for sale near your area as well as these are usually gifts for purchasing cameras. Just make sure you weigh it down with something heavy at the bottom to make sure it doesnt tip over.

yup I'm thinking I will go pickup a tripod in the next day or 2. Thanks again
