.How to take Pictures - Contd.

..Taking a picture is fairly basic. There are, however, a few simple steps to consider:

Step 5: If a wall or large object is not available to lean on, try laying down or placing your elbows on a sturdy table or rock.

Step 6: If nothing is available AT ALL, the last resort is to just kneel and support your elbow on your knee. This will not give you maximum stillness, but will satisfy moderately slow shutter speeds.

Step 7: Make a meter reading, being careful to avoid stray light sources or backlight. If needed, make a meter reading off your hand and open up one f-stop from the reading.

Step 8: Set the aperture and shutter speed according to the meter reading.
