Thanks, am only an 'amateur photographer' so all technical comments are much appreciated! i definately need to work on focus - problem i find with my camera is that when i use the flash the photo is well focused and clear but the flash changes the lighting. I usually prefer to turn the flash off in order to keep the natural light as i find this makes the whole atmosphere of the photo - but without the flash the photos come out blurry... any help with this problem would be much appreciated!

What I've found with Digital Cameras in particular, is that when you take a photo with the flash off, the exposure time is increased. I.e the amount of time the shutter remains open is increased. Hence, any motion during that timeframe would result in the photo looking blurred.

Try using a Tripod, or placing the camera on a secured surfuce.
That way, it won't move whilst the shutter is open.

Yeh, it's definately cos of shutter speed - i do try to be as still as possible when taking photos without the flash but they still come out more or less blurry.
Good point about the tripod - that probably is the best solution - i just need to save up for one i guess
Thanks for the help

Yeah, buying a Tripod's probably your best bet.
They're not all that expensive and come in handy sometimes.

My pleasure to help. I'm no professional photographer though.
I'm actually into Cinematography.
