Nature photographers Jason Hahn and Jon Cornforth offer advice for keeping steady as she goes. Activate image stabilization: A first line of defense against wave-induced shake. (Nikon users: In very rough water, engage the Active setting on your VR lenses.) Set higher ISOs for fast shutter speeds—better a bit of noise than blurry shots.

Use support: A monopod with a flat swivel foot is usually the best bet. Tripods can be cumbersome, especially in small boats.
