Default A shot of my daughter



I know it's super blurry but I just really liked the way it came out. I'm going to attempt some editing ( I know it won't help the blur I am sure).

D_O_M_A_W,

The one thing next to impossible to fix. You can sharpen and contrast in little steps sometimes and get a better blur.

It's hard to tell, but you may be focusing behind your daughter in the area above her head. Taking time to get your subject in focus will improve your shots immensely.

I have no experience with it, but a friend of mine did some amazing mitigation of camera shake blur on a photo I took with Focus Magic.

This is something that I need patience with. She is so sick of me taking pictures of her so she won't stand still. Most the time she runs away! Thanks for the advice though.

D_O_M_A_W,

A little help, generally. I did try Focus Magic on one, but could not eliminate noise and distortion as much as using my edit program's contrast, unsharp mask,soften, clone, blend etc.

I have so many pictures of my boys in blur that I know it's hard to capture. It's during those times that I flick the auto focus on for the first shot and then fiddle with the settings for shots 2-10.

You can then overlap the pics and try and clean it up a little.
