Blurry photographs are the bane of photographers across the world. Regardless of how perfect the lighting, how well composed or how rare the picture, the whole photo turns out bad if the picture is blurry. Understanding what causes images to end up blurry is key to avoiding this very common, and very frustrating, mistake. So here are the three main culprits that cause blurry photographs:

Focus Issues

The most common cause of blurry pictures is a focusing problem. This can manifest in several ways. The most common cause is that the photographer didn't properly focus the camera either because the auto focus didn't choose the right part of the picture to focus on or due to an error on the photographer's part.

In most cases, these problems can be easily avoided by making sure the subject you want in focus is what the lens is focusing on. If it isn't, then you need to adjust the focus until you get the results you want. Some auto focus cameras have a focus lock that allows you to center your subject in the viewfinder, push the shutter button half way down and then move the camera without losing the focus area.

Motion Blur

Capturing a fast moving object in an image clearly, can be challenging task. Motion blur will be identifiable by having clear focus on the stationary objects in a frame, but a blurry subject.

Luckily, motion blur is easy to avoid. If you notice your action shots are fuzzy, change your shutter speed to a higher setting to shorten the exposure of the picture. This should help solve the problem and capture fast moving objects with little blur. Remember, faster shutter speeds will require more light and possibly faster film or a different digital setting, so come prepared if you're planning on capturing fast-paced action.

Camera Shake

Having an unsteady camera is another common cause of fuzzy photos. Whether you realize it or not, we're always moving (for example, just try holding your hand perfectly steady) so it can be difficult remaining perfectly motionless which can cause a problem when it comes to our pictures.

You can prevent camera blur by using a fast shutter speed (which should negate the minor movements) or by bracing your arms on something while holding your camera. If you need to use a slow shutter speed, then it's always best to use a tripod to avoid any possible camera shake problems. And lastly, you can also use a remote cable release which should prevent any movement from pushing the shutter button down.

If you take a bunch of photographs and they turn out blurry, the first step will be figuring out what kind of blur you've fallen victim to. If the problem is with focusing, some parts of the picture will be fuzzy while others will be sharp. If the problem is with motion, then only the moving objects will be fuzzy. And if it's camera shake, then the entire picture will be blurry. Once you have a good idea of what caused your photo blur, go out prepared to compensate for that issue and re-shoot the subject. Your photographs will turn out much, much better.

When going into every photo opportunity, always be aware of the type of light, what subject you'll be taking and the proper tools you'll need to do the job right. In the case of blurry images, a little advanced preparation will go a long ways in solving this problem.

How to Shoot Waterfalls

One of the important aspects about shooting waterfalls is knowing the waterfall itself. What I mean by that is knowing the lighting conditions at each time of year and day; knowing what time you are going to get your best shot.

Here are some useful tips for getting beautiful waterfall shots.

Lighting for waterfalls is best when it has just finished raining- such as s storm that’s just passed. You can take advantage of this to get great shots to get a soft and dim light that brings out the dramatic nature of the waterfall. In order to get a slower shutter speed on auto, you will need to capture the waterfall particularly at this time after the rain.

There are a couple of successful tips to get two types of waterfall shots. The first is the soft smooth flowing effect of water; such as water looking like a blanket of silk over the rocks. If you want to get this look, set your shutter to a speed of 1 to 2 seconds. To get the right exposure at this speed set your aperture at an f stop of f/16 or smaller say, f/22. You will notice that with these settings you’ll get a better, larger depth of field. The entire frame will be in focus this way, which is always a bonus. If you find you have too much light, just change your shutter to 2 seconds or just slight of that. You can also use a polariser or neutral density filter.

Filters for waterfall shots? I have found that a ND filter gives some fantastic effects. If you invest in one of these for your waterfall photos you will find that the amount if light on the lens is reduced. Once the light is reduced (provided you are shooting during the day on auto) the shutter speed will change accordingly. You will find no reduction of colour at all.

It’s also wise to use a tripod when taking waterfalls. When you are using a shutter speed of 1 to 2 seconds (depending on light), you must remember that this is a pretty slow shutter speed and you don’t want to take any chances. So many times subscribers have sent me photos if their waterfall shots with some significant blur, leaving them disappointed in the process.

Also, with such a slow shutter, try to get yourself a shutter release cable. A remote shutter release is even better because the chance of knocking your camera goes from 10% to absolute zero. It’s a must when taking such slow shutter speeds like this because even the most beautiful photo is ruined by the slightest movement.

If you don’t have a remote release cable, you can use the cameras self timer. This is something I’ve used a lot when I first started photography. This will get a similar, if not the same effect, as using a remote shutter release cable. When you set the timer, press the shutter, you still have a few seconds before the shutter will open and take the picture, During this few second window, you can take your finger off the shutter and then the picture will be taken after this set amount of time. (Usually three to ten seconds depending on what you set it at. Some cameras may have a pre-set timer for this window.)

Just remember that the time of day you are shooting your waterfall is very important- watch for stormy clouds to enhance colour and capture that beautiful water with a slow shutter speed of under 2 seconds. One more reason why its good to have low light is because water offers come high contrast on a photo when taken in the mid afternoon sun. The low light will soften any potential harsh contrasts.

If you do find that you have too much light during the day with the slow shutter, you can always adjust the levels on the Photoshop Histogram.

As always happy shooting!

can anyone tell me which cable release is compatible with the Fuji Finepix s9600?

Jessops sold me a shutter release cable which they forced into the camera, but when you press the release, it falls out. Fuji do not sell one themselves.
