A tripod would eliminate camera shake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31871997.post-55161051513955483402008-04-02T20:38:00.000-07:002008-04-02T20:38:00.000-07:00I'm pretty good about keeping the flash on, also b...I'm pretty good about keeping the flash on, also because it speeds up the shutter speed...hence less blurry kids!

I am a veterinarian-turned-SAHM, and I get a lot of people who don't understand or support that I "gave up" my career to stay home. Is it the same with you?Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11729009123366337211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31871997.post-59503643561849210172008-02-03T04:29:00.000-08:002008-02-03T04:29:00.000-08:00Great tips!

The other is a point & shoot that handily fits into my pocket and usually captures the fun moments! With my little one - I find that if the flash is bleaching things out - I keep the flash on, step back and then use the zoom. Also - if I can angle the flash a tiny bit away from aiming directly at what I am taking a photo of - that helps. Now, I know that the people who were wondering about this won't be checking back to the comments section but I thought I would share with you what has been working with me. I will check back to see if you have any other pointers - I love pointers!!!<BR/><BR/>Cheers!<BR/><BR/>EvelynEvelyn aka Starfishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025353776081066815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31871997.post-52337609688415262772008-01-31T08:36:00.000-08:002008-01-31T08:36:00.000-08:00Thanks!

I'm a bit of an amateur photographer with an aspiration to make myself into a professional amateur. ;)<BR/><BR/>Seriously, I love taking photos, so I will have to keep reading your blog and see what I can do with some of your tips.

Maybe you can write a blog about how to use their camera properly and then I can send them here :)Sister Sassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15579850974867756364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31871997.post-45582009930209265742008-01-30T07:43:00.000-08:002008-01-30T07:43:00.000-08:00When I get around to getting a better camera I am ...When I get around to getting a better camera I am coming to your site and stalking your archives - who needs a class!
