Dear Webby
Whenever I take pictures at night, for example of the moon
between trees, the pictures turn out fuzzy. What can I do to
fix that?
Thanks
Christy

Dear Christy
At night the cameras use longer exposure times. It is
virtually impossible to hold the camera steady enough so
that you don't get fuzzy pictures, especially if you use
zoom.

You will need to use a tripod or rest the camera on a
little sand bag. An old, soft, and no longer shiny leather
purse, filled with sand or salt or sugar makes a very good
tripod substitute. So does a cut off piece of sleeve from
an old coat. The little pillow should be about hand size
or bigger, and thick enough so that you can wiggle the
camera into the right position.

If your camera has a remote control, use that for night
shots. If you don't have a wireless remote control, then
your camera probably has a connection for a "Bulb" or
other manual remote control. You can get those at any
camera store or order them on-line quite cheaply.

Have FUN!
