== == You don't say what kind of camera, so here's a few guesses. Based on your comment, there cannot be anything wrong with the lens. Perhaps you need eyeglasses (or updated vision correction) or a diopter for your view finder, or the viewing system of your camera needs cleaning. These would explain why things look blurry while viewing, but turn out OK. Did you drop the camera recently? If this is a single-lens reflex something in the viewing system--either the focusing screen or the mirror--could have gotten knocked out of alignment.

Several possible reasons:

Your shutter speed is too low. This causes motion blur due to either the subject moving or the camera shaking. Check the EXIF information. If the shutter speed (in fractions of a second) is less than the the focal length, your shutter speed is probably too low (EG if your shutter speed was 1/30 of a second, and your focal length is 50mm, you probably need a shutter speed of at least 1/50 of a second) To get a faster shutter speed, get more light or turn up the ISO to a higher value (or use a higher speed film, if not digital). Shooting from a tripod/monopod will help eliminate camera shake, as will an Image Stablizing / Vibration Resistant lens.

The subject is not in focus. Learn how to focus your camera. If part of the subject is in focus and part of it is not, you need to shoot with a narrower aperture (higher f/stop). Again, you either need more light or a higher ISO setting.

You have a cheap camera / lens. Don't expect razor-sharp images out of a piece of junk. Quality optics cost money.

Your lens is dirty. Fingerprints or gunk on the lens makes for blurry photos. This can be a big problem with camera phones.

How does a paparazzi get pictures of famous people?

Although being a paparazzi gives you a reputation of being a sleazy, annoying person, you can become filthy rich. All you need is a camera. No, not a digital Sony. An intense, high quality camera that you can sling around your neck. It has to have big flash and it has to be big. You also need to live in an area with celebrities. "People" doesn't want of picture of a hobo on the cover of their magazine. You need photography experience and you cant just take one picture. You keep taking them, and taking them. You then take it to a magazine company to get your money. The picture has to be good, too. It cant be blurry or anything like that. And high-def. I really hope this helps! BTW-I'm only 11 so I don't know if this is accurate or not.


What shutter speed should you use at night?

The basic answer is as slow of a shutter as possible without blurring the picture. With no flash and no tripod I am not steady enough to get a sharp exposure at much less than 1/80th of a second. If there is a tripod involved things change. For pictures of people you might get away with as low as 1/40th of a second, but the people would have to know to hold more still than usual for the picture. 1/30th or 1/20th might be used with a flash, where you wish for dim lights in the background such as city lights are desired to be seen, the flash will expose the people and the shutter being open will give the background more time to come through. On a tripod I've exposed as long as 30 seconds, for star field pictures, or interesting pictures of buildings only lit by small security lights or moonlight. You can take a great picture in what seems like darkness with a tripod and remote, even better with a camera with mirror lock-up to get really sharp long exposures.
