Here's a tip

Go to Youtube and look up Joe McNally's tape Da Grip.

Follow his instructions and your photos will be sharper.

Me?

I lean against things.

Hold your camera against your face, and lean the back of your head into a telephone pole.

Push the side of your camera against a power pole.

Rest the camera on the roof of your car. Turn the engine off.

Find a fence pole. Put the camera on top.

Make a stack of books. set the camera on top.

Set your camera off by using the self timer.

Pay attention to the wind. That's why tree leaves are not sharp.

Pick a place where your subject will be. Use high speed clickety-click, turning the camera on before the subject arrives at this spot, and turn it off after the people go past.

Etc.
