A few pics.. advice needed!

I really like the way the first 3 came out, but the next 2, I do not like them at all, there is some much blur in the pictures, I I was shooting at 1600 ISO for the last 2 pictures, I dont know the shutter speed on them. My computer at home is all messed up so Im on school computer. Any comments or suggestions would be nice! Thanks for looking!

Hello
Because you used a high ISO value the shutter speed increased. The shutter speed made your camera shake. To this was added the natural shaking of the hand. The result: a blurred pic

correct me if i am wrong, but if you jack up the ISO, then the shutter speed reduces due to the sensor being more sensitive to light as the ISO is jacked up.

so your explanation doesn't jive.

but we do need more info on these pictures, EXIF info.

the aperture reduces and the shutter speed is increasing to compensate ISO value. Otherwise you'll have just over exposed pics

Simply not enough information. Obviously you are getting motion blur because of slow shutter speeds.

With all other factors remaining the same, a higher ISO settings allows the potential for a faster shutter speed.

For example, an ISO of 1600 when the camera is set to AV @f4 will result in a shutter speed twice as fast as when using ISO 800 and AV @f4.

Depending on the light available, increasing the ISO setting will not result in a sufficiently fast shutter speed to overcome camera shake induced motion blur.

Question.. were you shooting in "P" mode or "M"... I shot pictures last Friday night of my daughter while marching in the band for half time... I was shooting at ASO 1600 1/60- f5.6 ... while they were on the field in bright light the pictures were good, but when i went down after the half time to get some shots behind the goal post (like your son) I had to go down to 1/40 1 1/30 second.. and even resting the camera on the fance i got some blur...

I was shooting in "M" mode... forgot to put that in there. Sorry

You had two problems, camera shake and subject motion I think. Raising the ISO should give you a higher shutter speed but there are limits. I would expect an examination of the exif for the photos would make you issues obvious.

That said, #2 & #3 are quite good with #3 very good.

The shutter speed made your camera shake.

So let me see if I understand this......if I bump my shutter speed up to 1/1000 it makes the camera shake and I can no longer hold it steady?

I'd suggest using the highest ISO possible, which you did, and using the largest apature/fastest shutter speed you can.

To make this easier you can use Av and select the largest apature value or Tv and select the fastest shutter speed.

If that doesn't help, you need 1 of three things. More light, Tripod or faster lens

OK, that made me smile ... a nice way to end the day

It must have something to do with torque....

And I would not suggest using Tv and the highest shutter speed. Use Av, lowest f-stop available and see what shutter speed the camera selects.
