Don's right. Rule #1 of all great photos and photographers. 

Seems similar to the old adage  practice...practice...practice.

 

Only way I can steady my hand is to lay off the caffeine or CA the camera to the lid prop or the bench. =)

I sometimes use the video mode and then cut (capture) a frame or two that look really good.

David,
 
I need to take these kinds of pictures a lot, so looked for a camera with a "super macro" setting, and also with manual focus.  I brace my hands solidly on the piano, set the manual focus, turn off the flash, then move the camera in and out towards my subject until the image looks perfectly focused.  Then I take about 10 pictures with the camera in slightly different positions, but always solidly braced on the piano somehow using both hands.
 
Then I throw out all the bad photos, and the good one makes me look really skilled!

Off topic a bit but what are the requirements on the camera to get that type of close up shot so clear.  I’m shopping for a new digital right now, mine sucks.

Patrick,
The other important part for close-ups is a tripod. Not only isn't it just important, but it is essential.
