Tip for shooting at lower shutter speeds
Neil Creek’s photography site (Original source)
This is a great tip that I have already tested on the Canon A550 Powershot and will be trying on a DSLR later today. It is very simple and is just a matter of intruducing a slight twist to the grip when shooting. This video explains it much better than I can.
I can get very useable results at a shutter speed of 1/8 sec, Much much better than cranking the ISO up to increase the shutter speed. My best using the normal relax/breath type approach is 1/30 for an equivalent result.
