Great Photos

How do I take great indoor photos?
I have an SLR Canon and I take great outdoor photos but everytime I take pictures indoors my pictures are blurry! Even if I use a flash, any hints or tips?
There’s a rule in photography that if you take picture slower than 1/focal length of your lenses at that moment, there is possibility that you’ll take blurry picture. For instance, if you have a 50mm lens and you shot less at 1/50 second, chances are your pictures are going to be blurry. Mostly, this happens due to your camera is shaking.
How to avoid it? First, hold the camera steadily with your two hands, and prop the viewfinder against your face so it won’t shake that much.
Higher ISO speed helps, but remember that it would also means more grain. I think at this point an ISO of 800 would help without being too grainy for your pictures.
Get a tripod so your camera won’t shake.
Get a faster lenses (f2.8 or may be even faster). I have a 50mm f1.8 lenses and it’s pretty good although you will need to “zoom” with your feet. At less than $75, it’s just the cheapest thing you can get to take good indoor picture without flash.
If you’re shooting at moving objects (children running, indoor sports etc), get a flash (I think a Canon 430EX would be good enough) but remember the further you take your pictures away from the object, the darker your pictures will be because of the flash limitation itself. Usually I don’t take pictures with flash for more than 15 feet (5 meters) or so.
Good luck.
