Something I have noticed with all of my photos is that almost all of them are blurry. I was wondering if there were any ways or methods that could fix this problem. Here are some photos of mine.

As for why they're so soft, without seeing the exif (it's been stripped from these images), I'd bet it's related to your lens - either the settings used, the quality of the lens itself, or most likely a combination of both.

Originally posted by Max Schwartz View PostOk, if I went spotting during the golden hour, what should my shutter speed be?
- set your camera to AV mode (for Canon. Don't know the name for other brands)
- f/8
- speed more or less = 1 / focal length
- play around with ISO
See what you get and improve from there

Hopefully after reading up a bit, you will see why Geri recommended shooting in AV (aperture priority). At that point, come back if you have any more specific questions. Telling you what ISO to use is kind of pointless if you don't know why, or how that will affect your images

Best keep your ISO as low as possible. The higher the ISO, the more noise you get.
Your first two shots in your first post are good starts, however the second too are probably too far away to get the best of. You always want to be as close to the subject as your lens will allow to get the most of your camera rather than cropping in so far.
I agree with the other guys, ideal settings on your usual bright sunny days are F8.0/ISO100 and a shutter speed of somewhere around the 1/640-1/800 mark ensuring you're paying close attention to keeping your lens steady and focused.
We look forward to seeing your improvements
Cheers

I'm starting to think it has to do with the lense itself.
