There is a knack to holding a TLR when using slow shutter speeds - in some respects the technique is similar to that used when firing a fullbore rifle, once leant it will never be forgotten.

The camera must be fitted with a strong neck strap adjusted to give a comfortable viewing distance. After composing the shot and focusing one tensions the neck strap by pulling down on the camera, whilst doing this one breathes out and then releases the shutter. With experience you will get sharp images at shutter speeds far slower than 1/50.
