6 Things that cause poor sharpness in your picture

As we say that there are factors that help you improve the photo quality. Similarly, there are factors that causes lack of sharpness in your pictures. Making them look low- quality and at times blurry. What causes these un-sharp and blurry edges? Let's find it out.

Slow shutter speed

Hand-holding camera and slow shutter speed is the main reason behind an un-sharp and blurred picture. If you are shooting in a slow shutter speed don't hand-held your camera. And if you are hand handling your camera then don't use a slow shutter speed.

Moving subject

If you are shooting a moving subject, no matter what shutter speed you use (without flash) it will cause a motion blur or camera blur in your pictures. However, if you are using a flash, then you may click a sharp or clear picture.

Photographing wide open

When you use a lens in its widest aperture, you may end-up clicking blurred pictures.

High ISO

High ISO means high level of noise. And high noise in an image means more grainy looking picture with missing details. That eventually makes it un-sharp and un-clear.

Dirt or scratches on the lens

Many times, the dirt, scratches or filth on your camera lens may result in un-clear pictures. When you take a picture with a dirty lens it lacks sharpness.

Quality of the light

Light is the main element to make your pictures look sharp and clear. If you are shooting in low light, your pictures will look dull. However, shooting in bright light will make your pictures look over-exposed. You need right type and right amount of light to make your picture look crisp and clear.
