1) Get the strap and tug down hard at those speeds. This one was done at 1/15

2) You press your thumb up against the body and you pull the shutter
with your index finger. The pressure from your thumb counter-acts the
movement of your shutter finger. You can really get a steady shot this
way. More so than with the softie. I have a few, but I don't use them.

Sorry for the all the traffic.
