Hello everyone! I could use some help with my photo quality issues.
I've been (slowly) learning my way around my first dSLR over the last few months in anticipation of using it on a trip to Scotland. I thought I had gotten the hang of it, but many of my shots from the trip turned out blurry. I've attached some and here are the settings:
Camera: Nikon D3200
Lens: Kit lens- 18-55mm F3.5-5.6G
ISO: 100
Focal length: 18mm
Aperture: 11
Shutter speed: 1/80
ISO: 100
Focal length: 55mm
Aperture: 11
Shutter speed: 1/200
ISO: 100
Focal Length: 18mm
Aperture: 11
Shutter speed: 160
One of the issues is that my LCD screen doesn't have great resolution so the shots looked fine on playback. I didn't see how poor quality they were until I got home and loaded them onto my computer.
Do you think it's just the settings? That I need a smaller aperture or quicker shutter speed?
Also a note: I realize that at first glance these don't look terribly blurry or out of focus, but zooming in a little will show that the image isn't as sharp as I would like. Now I know I've taken nice, sharp photos with this setup before so my camera is capable of it.
Any tips and advice for a frustrated newbie would be very appreciated.
