The best way to hold a DSLR is with one hand gripping the grip (as you would expect) and the other cradling the lens. Then bring your elbows in towards each other and tight against your chest to create a rigid 'platform' for the camera. You can also use walls, tables and even the ground to provide a solid base.
Also make sure that your shutter speed is fast enough for the length of the lens. How you do this will depend on the shooting mode you are using (automatic will adjust the settings to available light and activate the flash if necessary; whereas with shutter speed priority you can set the desired minimum speed and the camera will compensate with an appropriate aperture setting).
To work out the minimum speed for a particular lens, if X is the (35 mm equivalent) focal length of your lens then a good guide is to shoot at 1/X or faster.
The Super SteadyShot feature of your DSLR will let you take sharper images in low light conditions that would otherwise require a tripod or other means of steadying. And Super SteadyShot is particularly useful when holding your α350 above your head, at waist level, or close to the ground, shooting in Quick AF Live View mode.
