Taking movement pictures - HELP

Hey, I just got my new DSLR and I have been trying to get movement pictures without the use of flash but it keeps coming out blurry. Is there a good setting that I should know of? I've tried playing with the speedshutter and still the same. Also, I'm using the normal lens that comes with it, should I upgrade? What are some relatively cheap lenses out there that can help me take crisp movement pictures?

thanks.

Welcome to the forum! Can you post some pictures so we can see what is going on.

If your trying to freeze motion, a high shutter speed will do that.

Welcome to the website, like weebee said, post a picture.

If not can you give us a little more info, like are you taking the pictures inside or outside,
Daytime or night time, what is the subject.

Welcome to the forum

Look at the EXIF file on this picture. Just a quick shot at a fan at full speed. Notice the high shutter and ISO settings. Not perfect. Just giving you an example.

Thanks for the warm welcome and replies. I will try to upload a picture later. But for example, I was trying to take a picture of my fan at highspeed, in manual mode and it was looking like weebee's. It was blurry, unless I used my flash.

One of the terms you are going to see a lot here is EXIF (Exchangeable image file format) All this means it what were your setting when you shot it. When you upload a photo make sure you resize it to no more than 1000px on the long side and most of the time the EXIF will be imbedded so we can see it but always a good idea to give the Shutter Speed, Aperture, ISO when asking a question like this so we can guide you better. But from what you are saying it sounds like you were not using a high enough shutter speed. Indoors in a dark room you probably will have to increase the ISO to get the shutter speed high enough. IF you Google "Exposure Triangle" you will see more of what I am talking about.

Also it will help up to know if you are shooting in RAW or JPEG, what mode you are shooting in, (Auto, Program,Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority or manual)


Here is a guide to uploading that will get you started in uploading a photo here.

Guidelines to adding a photo to your post.

1. Resize photo to 1000px on the long side.
2. Resolution set to 72ppi (Pixels Per Inch)

These guidelines will be good for viewing on a computer but will not be good for printing. This will help safeguard your copyright.
