Thanks Uncle Ernie! I think we're going back to that spot soon,so I will try increasing the shutter speed and using manual...I just had this on automatic!

| ok. I just looked at the full sized version and it is definately motion blur. the guy at the top is not going as fast cause he just jumped, so he is less blurry, and the guy at the bottom is blurriest cause he is biggest and going the fastest. Increase your shutter speed. |

It is one of two things. Either your shutter speed is not fast enough to stop their motion (which I doubt is the case since the guy that is at the top is in fairly good focus) or most likely is that you are focused on the background scenery, so the guys jumping (and the foreground rocks) are out of focus. notice that the guy that is highest up is also farthest away which is where the camera seems to be focused.
So to fix this you would need to shoot it by either choosing manual focus and focusing on the area where you know they will be jumping and or making sure you are shooting at a shutter speed of about 1/500 sec or more, and the larger fstop # the better because you will have more in focus. Or you can use focus tracking mode and start off by pointing the camera upwards at them and shoot a continuous stream of photos as you follow them downwards.
I just checked your photo and you were shooting at 1/200 sec at f7.1. You were using iso 100. I would play around with higher shutter speeds, and then with higher fstop # (getting more in focus) as well as the focusing mentioned earlier. You might also want to boost your iso up to iso 320 or so to get those higher shutter speeds and fstops easier. |
