So I did a photoshoot for a family this past weekend and as I was shooting the pictures they looked "great" on the camera view but after I uploaded them, there were lots that were blurred. :(
Is there anything I can do with the pictures to make them look decent without just deleting them? They are of a 2 year old in the park and that was like pulling teeth for him to sit still. Any advice would be great!

Thanks :(
I figured it was and some I might be able to save and make it look like "special effects" but some are a total loss.
Any ideas on how to avoid so many?

It depends on How blurry they are ... upload one and let us see

Sorry you had so many blurry shots. It happens. Here are a few suggestions: Make sure your lens is clean, use a tripod, try a faster shutter speed/larger aperture if low light and have an image stabilizer lens.
Good luck,
Dianne

Hopefully, someone else might have some ideas regarding this photo. I would say that for the future, 1/30th of a second is just barely adequate. I'd go for more like 1/60th as a minimum.
Your DOF seems fine, so aperture is probably okay. That leaves me to believe that either it would be good to go with a slightly higher ISO, or else us a speedlite as a "fill" so that you can stay at this ISO.
I wish I knew more in the post processing realm.

It really doesn't look that blurry other than where the little guy moved his hand. Might try a faster shutter speed. What is the maximum aperture on the lens?

Thanks for the advice.... sounds crazy but i'm scared to play with many button cause I don't want to mess anything up. I went back and forth from the "kid" mode and auto because he was running around so I could get a faster shutter speed but I'm just lucky I took 400 Pictures and got plenty of good ones but was frustrated of the bad ones.

For toddlers you need to keep your shutter speed at around 1/100, they are just way to quick for anything lower. 1/30 is pushing the low end for hand-held for most people, that might be affecting your sharpness as well.

This one looks like multiple focus points were turned on, and the camera just chose to focus on the bricks.

I tried everything I could think of and every Topaz filter I have and I'm afraid there isn't much to be done about them. I couldn't help the picture of the boy at all ...

I won't want to come off as harsh but you're shooting on auto, letting the camera pick the focal points, don't adjust your settings to get the results you need/want and your charging people?
