An example of an image showing camera shake

This close-up image of fireworks shows shaky light trails where the camera moved during the exposure. This is a classic example of camera shake. In this particular case, the camera shake was caused by unstable support during a several second exposure. The image was taken at a baseball game where it was not possible to take a sturdy tripod so the camera was supported on a camera bag in the photographer's lap.

In order to correct the camera shake in this case, more stable support would have prevented the blurry image. A possible solution under these circumstances would have been place the camera bag on a non-moving surface (such as the floor).
