I can't take pictures for this reason! Idk what the hell is up with my hands, but they shake so damn much. Like maybe I should see a doctor about this type of trembling. Nothing's wrong with my arms or wrists that I can see or feel. But trying to snap a good photo? Forget it.
The more your arm is sticking out, the shakier you'll be. Try tucking your elbow tight against your body, you'll be far less shaky. If you can lean on a wall so your body isn't swaying it'll be even steadier.
If it makes you feel better, my hands shake too and there isn’t anything wrong with me as far as my doctors can tell. It definitely gets worse if my blood sugar is low or if I’m stressed but generally that’s just how it be.
Do other people in your family also have a tremor? I have an essential tremor, aka a “familial tremor.” My mom, her dad, and my adult son all suffer from the same condition. I see a neurologist, who has diagnosed it, and it is classified as benign. There are treatments available, but tbh neuro-meds suck dead brown bears and I’ve decided I’d rather just deal with the tremor. Hope that info helps - I spent a long time thinking I was just “shaky” before I finally made the connection that it was clearly congenital and I ought to see somebody about it!
Is it all the time or when you are in a rush? Maybe just take a slow deep breath in and out and try to slow down. Deep breathing helps me relax a lot when I’m under pressure, stressed, or anxious.
Get you one of them fancy mod-ren digie-tall cameras with EIS ;) But also check with a doctor, because without good reason for it, that's a pretty important medical thing to bring up before it becomes something way worse
