My first manual pictures

You aren't going to get a photo "Tack sharp" unless you 1) use a tripod and 2) use a remote shutter release.

Come on this is simple basics...

You know this from years of SLR experience? If your shutter speed is high enough, and your focal length is 1/shutter speed (at least), you can get tack sharp images. The camera won't move far enough for it to matter at 1/400s unless you're dropping your body as you trip the shutter.

i like your shots for the most part, but not trying to burst your bubble, but with the built in light meter, shooting manual isnt much of an accomplishment, (i know i sound dickish right now sorry) the real accomplishment will be when you figure out the settings and what they do to each other. and you can make the decsion for your self what shuuter speed, iso, and f stop to use for each shot. but it all comes with time and posting online is a great way to get feed back. so keep it up!

obviously if he took the picture and it is not "Tack Sharp" he either was not holding the camera steady enough or was not focused on the wall enough.

But either way, If you could get "Tack Sharp" photos hand holding the camera why do you think sports photographers shoot at 1/650 shutter speed but still use a omni-pod?

Well I will tell you, it is because that is the way to get the sharpest picture. A tripod can only help, it won't make the photo more blurry...

Sports photographers use an omnipod cuz you cant hold a bloody 800mm prima for very long. Have you seen the lenght and weight ?

You can shoot perfect sharp shots handheld. Many people do it.
Just have to make sure your shutter speed is high and your lighting is good.
Being out of focus is something different than camerashake.
