7th-hussar, ANY movement of the camera at the moment the shutter is moving will be translated into blurry pictures. To minimize that, you can do several things: - Buy a tripod. Small ones are inexpensive, and they give the camera a stable platform to sit on. Just make sure everything looks level through the viewfinder before you snap the picture.
- A cable release or the camera's self timer. Either will greatly reduce camera movement, because you aren't touching the camera when the shutter clicks. Almost all cameras have a self timer, but in my experience they are awkward to use for the close-in work you're talking about. A cable release doesn't cost much, is easy to use, and will give you a little more flexibility in positioning the camera and lining up shots.
