Jogging is the sin of walking while shooting. Joggers give no thought to the fact that the image is
bouncing around like a milk can in the bed of a Model T.
Moving shots are dramatic and exciting, so go for them! But to ensure that most of the movement is
forward rather than up and down, observe these simple rules for hand-held shooting:
Zoom the lens to its wide-angle setting to minimize shake. The telephoto position magnifies the
jitters along with everything else.
Don’t touch the viewfinder with your forehead (a snap if you have an LCD screen finder).
Walk with both knees and elbows bent so that your arms and legs act as natural shock
absorbers.
Move much more slowly than normal, so that the scene passing your lens has a chance to register
with viewers.
Pretend the camcorder you’re carrying is a very full, very hot cup of coffee–and you’d better not spill a drop!
