chem said:how do i tell if the blur photo is due to camera shake/handshake or the photo is off focus. both cases look the same to me
ziploc said:Hi chem,
Both pictures are actually off focus, because you can see the focusing is behind the flowers on the leaves/flowers at the background.
As for macro, there is a minimum distance beyond which your camera will not be able to focus. This distance is determined by the type of lens you use, and can be shorten by adding macro filter/lens.

For camera shake, the whole picture is blur and it is quite difficult to find anything that is sharp.
