Amazingly beautiful picture 1. But already at 100% size it is not clear at all. It appears to be movement, not focus. The motion stabilizer of the camera may be defective. I once bought a lovely camera for a cheap price. He spoiled my pictures like yours.

Did you use a DSLR, or a smaller type of camera? The sensor size makes a big difference. It looks to me rather that the sensor size is small - hence getting artifacts when enlarged. It could also be the combination with the type of lens you have. If you have a DSLR camera - for example a Canon DSLR 'C' type sensor, plus the kit lens that came with the camera - the kit lens isn't that good unfortunately, and you'll get rather unsharp photos.

Yes, I use a DSLR. You describe my situation haha I have a Canon DSLR and use the kit lens that came with the camera. I think I need to look into a different lens. Thank you!

I know this lens as I had the 18-55 (first lens). The results I got from this were rather the same, so that made me wonder. It's the lens rather than your focusing.

You could look at the Sigma range or other third party lenses that have a Canon mount. You'll need to do some reading about the lens quality. I would get another lens. You will notice a difference.

Hi @Kirsten5FB7 ,

I believe the main issue has to do with too much of a wide aperture for landscape and placing your focus at the wrong point. For example the last image (that would have otherwise been a very beautiful shot) has too much sky included to be a landscape photograph. It is clear you placed the focus at the horizon, hence it got lost in space.

What a shame that all of these images from Keukenhof are blurry since you had such awesome skies. I had rather dull skies each of the times I visited. If this is an ongoing problem (lack of sharp focus), perhaps you should verify that your lens is calibrated to your camera body.

Yeah the sky was perfect! It was a beautiful day. Unfortunately the pictures are not quite how I would have liked them. But practice makes perfect 🙂

What do you mean by verifying if my lens is calibrated to my camera body? Because I think the lack of sharp focus is an ongoing problem while the settings are correct.

Hi @Kirsten5FB7 ,

Just to comment on the out of focus issues. Question: Do you use fully auto-settings, or partial auto-settings?

You need to hold the shutter button halfway down for a few seconds before pressing it completely to take your shot. This is especially important if you use auto-focus. Not understanding where to place your focal point can also result in total or partial out of focus. If you use incorrect aperture settings for the scene you shoot can also cause partial out of focus.

You might find the link below useful for calibrating your lens. This info may vary from brand to brand, hence you'll also need to consult with your manual. If you do not have a physical manual then you may search on line for one for your brand and model camera.

I hope you find it useful.

I use partial auto-settings. Thank you so much for your information. Very useful! 🙂

Hello @Kirsten5FB7 , one issue are artifacts as seen here:

This might have been caused in post processing when reducing the highlights and increasing shadows or when adjusting the exposure on the sky. Do you shoot in RAW or JPEG?

@RALPH_L Hi Ralph, thank you very much for your answer. I always shoot in RAW 🙂

Shooting RAW is great, you now still need to get your main subject in focus, with the lowest ISO possible and a correct exposure (time and opening).

I can tell you why your pictures got refused: technical issues. But normally that's what you tell us, and we tell you what technical issues. It's obvious here:

1: Your main subject is out of focus, you have artefacts, and you have a logo on an industrial building(IP refusal).

2. Washed out colours, no details.

6. Nothing in focus, washed out colours. If they were in focus, you would have needed to photoshop out the boat's name and get a model release from the people in the boat.
