Whenever I take photographs in archives, I find after I get home that some (usually the most important pages) are out of focus and illegible. Am I just a bad photographer or do other people do this too?

I've learned to check through every photo before leaving the library otherwise this happens to me EVERY time, no matter how steady I think my hands and/or phone are. Works of Isengard...
I find I have a choice between checking them all or taking 2-3 of every page (which is not necessarily feasible) because otherwise they will inevitably suck. But I do have a hand tremor as my excuse.
I don't even have a medical excuse! But yeah, glad to know it's not just me; I always try to check but it's hard when you're working fast (and it can sometimes be hard to spot focusing issues on a small camera/phone screen).
