Steve: It takes practice, practice, practice. My second set came out blurry, and hoping to have the technique down as we head for a birding trip to Costa Rica in February. Having frozen fingers doesn't help either, and hoping to have some sort of "holder" fashioned to keep the camera steady. Good luck! If anything this technique should help in id'ing/documenting rarities from our birding excursions. Ain't technology wonderful?
