...take pictures at a church service on Sunday.
I've been asked to take some snapshots at our parish's confirmation mass this weekend. It's for our church bulletin. Nothing fancy. Okay. I did that a couple weeks ago, for first communion, and some turned out nicely, but too many were -- despite my best efforts -- blurry.
I'll be using my beloved Pentax dslr, and a Sigma 18-125 lens. There should be a fair amount of "church light," and day light streaming through our stained glass windows. Any suggestions on how I can minimize blur this weekend? I tried to steady my shots last time by leaning against a huge stone column, but that didn't seem to help all that much.
I'd prefer not to use a tripod (I only have a tiny fit-in-a-fannypack portable one anyway).
Suggestions welcome! Please!
