Drowned Rat....just for fun

You NEED to raise that shutter speed! 1/20 is why the dog contiues to look oof. I shoot my kids at no less than 1/200 (I could probably get away with a little lower but just to be safe). Having grain in your photos is better than having motion blur ;) and also, when you post the exif data all we need is this part:

Exposure time, sec: 1/20
Aperture (F): 4.00
ISO speed rating: 200

Not sure if any better. Just playing around, learning a lot today if nothing else. I really don't like going above 400 on ISO to avoid grain, but worth a shot. I just need to practice.

Shutter speed is still 1/20

Yup, shutter speed was still 1/20, ugg. I will keep trying and trying until it comes out right. And I just read about both of those lenses, so you are right....senseless to get both.

Try this, set your camera to AV (aperture priority) and set the f/stop to 5.6, set the ISO to 600 and try it again. Noise should not really be an issue. But if it is, you can tame it with noise reduction software.

Wouldn't shutter priority be better since its her shutter speed causing issues?

With her interest in portraits it would be more important to control the DOF She can watch the shutter speed and change the f/stop as needed…But the reverse would certainly work, set the shutter speed you want and watch the f/stop, six of one, half doz of another I guess.:D

I tried it a few different ways. This one looks sharper but I probably need to reduce the noise. My dog is now getting bored and fell asleep on me, so will leave him alone....for now......lol. He's been such a trooper.
