Not sure what camera you're shooting on, but if blurry photos are an issue I would suggest to increase the shutter speed as fast as possible. You might need to increase iso to compensate. If your camera has a shutter priority mode, try that and set the speed to something like 1/500 or faster.
Also keep the camera close to your body, tuck in your elbows. You can also use your environment, like leaning on a tree or wall. I'm often bracing against things if I need a bit more steadyness, esp in low light.
I'm currently looking for a camera. The only one I tried was my father's that he got in the '70s.
Good tips on how to hold the camera though. I'll be sure to try them out when i buy a camera.
