Try to keep your arms against your body-not suspended in air. Plant your feet firmly on the ground, slightly apart. Hold the camera tightly against your face. Take a breath, hold it, and gently squeeze the shutter release. Chances are that you'll make a picture free of camera movement.
Golfers practice their swing.
Target shooters practice squeezing the trigger. Photographers can practice their handling techniques. With most of these, you view your subject through a viewfinder that is separate from the camera lens. These relatively small cameras have become increasingly popular, and they commonly include features such as automatic film advance and rewind, automatic exposure, and automatic focus. A hinged mirror reflects the image through a pentaprism in the viewfinder to your eye.
