The easiest way to avoid blur is to use a tripod. This is especially important if the light is low, as in night or late afternoon photography. Your shutter is going to open more slowly to allow in more light. This slow shutter is the cause of the blur. You cannot hand hold a camera with a shutter speed less then 30. You can try holding the camera close to your body and bracing yourself or the camera against a solid object like a wall or fence but this is chancy at best. Here is when ISO is very helpful. The higher your ISO the faster you shutter speed can be. Remember shutter speed, ISO and aperture all work together. So when it’s dark I first crank up the ISO open up my aperture put the camera on a tripod and I will have wonderful results. Here are some examples.
