The War Against Blurry Photos: Holding Your Point and Shoot Camera

Yep, got to admit the live to camera isn't the greatest, mainly thanks to my processing (too much transcoding) and old camera! Fortunately I've progressed since then, as you can see from the newer Travelsignposts travel videos shot in HD. Actually, I've been shooting with a new Sony video camera this summer, and although most of it is handheld, the optical stabiliser is excellent. I'll be putting up some videos here before Christmas, and I think you'll really be able to see the difference.
That's a good one too, although personally I find it a bit difficult to get my neck round enough - perhaps with more practice! Pity about the comments, but them's the breaks! Actually, I've been quite busy these last few months, and haven't been able to put up the videos I intended. But when I go on assignment to Europe later this year I'm hoping to post some guerrilla travel photography tips, though they'll be "quick and dirty" as I'm not sure how good the internet access will be!
Great tips Tony. Not sure why there are no comments on these videos, but this is SUPER important info for any average Joe that takes a shot with his basic camera.
Another stance: Holding the camera DIRECTLY on your shoulder, NOT on your upper arm. Your lcd screen will be very close to your face, BUT your shoulder bone is nearly as stable as setting your camera on a table! Very stable, and hitting the shutter won't shake it. To make sure you are straight, use your "grid lines" on the display.
