To all budding digital photographers, I offer you one extremely basic tip which will save you being one of the many who have spoilt photos because they haven’t observed the following:

When taking a digital photo… SQUEEZE the shutter release, don’t jab it. It is especially important when shooting without flash in lower light situations because your camera shutter speed it slower and any camera movement will cause smearing of the image. You can imagine that if you were to jab the shutter release, you move your camera and voila; a disappointing digital image.

Wishing all readers a happy and safe holiday season, and as always, experiment with your digital camera as experience is a wonderful teacher.
