    Photographers...Thoughts on what happened with this photo?

    Photographers and other know-it-alls...what do you think could have possible happened with this photo? It was one of my favorites as I viewed normally, but looking closely, the camera or something moved during the shot, in addition to a focus issue...which the pics before and after didn't have.

    Settings are correct in the photo. It's clearly out of focus a tad but look at the light in the eyes. It appears their is camera shake? At those settings, that should not have happened. It was also on a tripod and the photo before and after were fine.

    I'm a bit baffled even though the pic is not a keeper. Will being out of focus create that apparent camera movement appearance?

    Manual or auto focus?

        If you were snapping touching the camera instead of remotely I would bet you slightly moved the camera without realizing it. I could see that happening at 1/200. That's all I got.

        You need to sell me that lens cheap since you have the 2.8.

          Sometimes, if the light is juuuust right, I have to use mirror lock or I get this weird jiggly effect. My camera is probably no where near as good (or heavy) as yours, so I need to use mirror lock more often (probably); but that's what it looks like to me.

          Where you shooting in burst or single? Sometimes in burst I will get two good shots and bad one like this as well (in three shot burst). I've read up on it a few times and I can't remember what exactly causes it, focus speed or back focus or something, I can't remember.

              Taken on single photo, self-timer. Focused, set timer, camera took photo.


              Everything I can think of that would cause this is taken out of play by settings, approach, etc. All I can figure is that being out of focus created the appearance of camera shake. But, at 35mm and 1/200 shutter speed, camera shake would likely not be an issue.

                Given all of this, I think it could still be the mirror causing the movement. I said shutter lock earlier but I meant mirror lock up. But, it could just be out of focus...

                  Maybe the subject broke the camera???

                  Just kidding. I have nothing helpful to add since I’m new to photography hence the joke.

                  In for learning.

                      Casey,
                      Why do you shoot iso 100?
                      I know when we used film it made a difference in grain but now that’s been eleminated.

                      I will see if I can send one I took a few days ago.
                      But back to your question did any more turn out like that?

                            I'd guess it was an AF issue since you used a tripod and timer. Sometimes the AF just has a brainfart.

                              Operator error would be my guess!
