Life with Shakes

Beth, put the strap around your neck, mount the camera on a monopod and PUSH against the neck strap. This eliminates 2 axis of movement leaving only side to side.

people. Unfortunately they tend to move. I was shooting at the beach today. Good sun, 1/300o f/5.o iso 200. I thought a faster shutter would help but not a single shot's is focus. The shots are usable but soft as hell

But what focal length ?

That's a new one for me. I will give it a try! Thank you.

When I checked the EXIF I was way off on these settings. There were my starting setting but as one does, you change them on the fly and I got the ss wrong. it was actually 1/400 and the focal length was 79mm
