Take three

I've watched many photographers take photographs and one habit that I often see is squeezing the shutter release button too hard. Inevitably the camera moves and depending upon the shutter speed, a blurry image might result. A technique that I've put into practice when a tripod is not available and the shutter speed is low due to the lighting situation, is to take three photographs in a row using the continuous shooting mode. That way if the camera moves during the first exposure, likely either the second or third image will be much sharper because the shutter button is already held down. Don't worry about wasting shots, find the sharpest one and delete the others. Isn't digital the greatest!
