Four pages, but problem solved. I wonder how many pages this would have been if posters just offered solutions, rather than attacking each other and sending this new member away.

As stated by most people, it seems to be that Autofucus is off. On your lens, there is a little switch that is labelled AF/MF. Make sure it is on the AF side.
Note: this must be set correctly. even if your camera is set to AUTO.

This may well be the problem. As I understand it, successful Live View shots are difficult to take with a DSLR.

I don't see anything about Macro Mode, but I do see that the picture was taken in Live View. In Live View it should have been obvious that the pictures were out of focus.
Oops! Forgot to quote when I replied a few minutes ago. So I will repeat, I believe it is very difficult to successfully shoot in Live View with a DSLR.

I agree, it is sad to see a new member insulted by judgmental remarks, which are displays of ego and intolerance.

Possibly the lens mount was not fully engaged and could have fallen off!!!

Yes , there are snobs in here . I guess their arrogance is their way of trying to impress us all . Perhaps it's because their photographs can't !

I would say it appears that there are two things here: First, on the lens itself, is the autofocus set to on or off? It appears to be off. Second, is the camera set to not shoot if focus is not achieved? That's a menu setting. If it's set to fire without focus and your lens' autofocus is turned off, you can get out of focus images. Since there is nothing in focus in your image, I suspect that's the issue.

Don't worry about the trolls. Just ignore them. Put the lens on auto focus and try again. It is how we learn. Keep shooting and ignore the trolls.

Sounds like it was either your lens or too slow of a shutter speed. Some lenses have a manual focus and auto focus slider on the lens,it could be that the slider was pushed toward manual focus. Or, maybe you were shooting too slow of a shutter speed.

I'm sad some people weren't nice to you. The majority of people here are extremely nice. At 83 years old, I am so happy that you are in good enough health to do what you are doing: have a blast with your camera, and don't give up!
