Your photos are lovely Katie. :thumbsup: Your close ups all look sharp to me.

It's harder to get sharper shots when the subject is moving, especially if there isn't any sun, or the lighting is not very bright (cloudy days, autumn/winter, evenings etc). These conditions can make for some nice lighting for landscapes but they do make it harder to get sharp shots if something is moving. You also get different planes of focus, so some of your subject may be in focus whilst another part isn't. All in all focusing is a really tricky subject and getting sharp shots can be very difficult. What time of year did you first get your camera...this will make a difference too as the lighting changes with the seasons?

A lot of photographers sharpen pictures on Photoshop instead these days or use very expensive lenses that can capture sharper pictures on special aperture settings (to cope with poorer lighting) that standard lenses don't have.

hey thanks for that nicola, OH spent all night sat night and pretty much all day yesterday reading the manual and flicking the switch taking pics.

turns out it wasnt set up properly or its been fiddled with, as the last 4 pic settings wernt working either (letter ones M AE TV....) they just took a pure grey pic :blink:

anyway he doesnt know how he fixed it but its fixed :sweating: so im hoping to get it out before it gets dark to test it (easier said than done :- " )

:thumbsup:

The setting M AE and TV are all manual settings.

For example with TV, this is shutter priority. You need to manually set the shutter speed you require, and the camera will work out the aperture width needed for that shutter speed. Unless you set it at a sensible shutter speed, you can get a blank/grey picture. It will stay on the same setting even when you switch off the camera, so it could have been set on something inappropriate beforehand.

The AE is aperture priority. This allows you to set your own aperture, to control the depth of field (i.e. do you want a sharp foreground but blurred back ground, or do you want a sharp picture throughout), and the camera will work out the appropriate shutter speed.

The M setting is the fully manual setting where you tell the camera what shutter speed you want and what aperture setting you want. When using these settings it's important to understand what the shutter speeds and apertures settings do, as the two interact to make sure you get a sharp, correctly exposed shot.

If you're testing in the evening be aware that the lighting won't be as good for action shots (but is better for scenic pics), so don't be surprised if you're getting blurred shots.

Good luck. Lots of photographers have trouble getting sharp shots. You used to have to use tripods (I still do for competition shots), or rest the camera on something stable. Hand-held sharp shots can be achieved in the right lighting conditions, but an Image Stabilizer in the lens is really helpful. If all else fails use Photoshop to sharpen your images.
