I guess those one in a thousand shots are just that because everything has to go right. I was snapping pics at the zoo today and had to try to handhold this one at 1/25th on the top of my 80-200 zoom...
I think this would have been a special photo had I not had motion artifact...
PS this is with quite a bit of unsharp in an attempt to salvage it.

| Like both your pics a lot. I don't think all pics have to look like they're made for the photo art gallery or picture posters & postcards. Part of the best photos for me are instantaneous captures of magic or wondrous moments of life. But then, that's just my view and I'm not a professional photographer. :) |

THIS, is why they invented IS/VR. May not have totally saved it, but it would have been better.

set the camera on burst mode, and fire off three shots at a time - the second or third one will likely be sharper than the first. pressing the shutter tends to cause some shake - the bursts eliminate the pressing of the button on the second and third shots.
check them when you get a chance, and delete the unsharp ones. doesn't work in all cases - but might have here.

Try the demo version of FocalBlade
Works wonders on blurred images. Purchase price $49.95. Might even be worth it :-)

Next time instead of using such a slow shutter try bumping up the ISO. Even just to 200 should compensate nicely.
P.S. It's a really neat shot. |

| It was already at 400. I could have gone to 800 (I don't mind doing that), but 1600 tends to give lots of noise. Didn't have time to think I guess. |

At 640 resolution, ISO makes little difference anymore.
These are sample shots done with the Canon 350D:
---------ISO100----------
----------ISO200----------
-----ISO400-----
---------ISO800----------
--------ISO1600----------
Amazing advances in sensor technology.

I don't want to start shooting photos thinking, "I only need 640 of these pixels." What happens if you get a great picture? You can't do anything with it except display it online. I have my photos on the walls of our house and that's the final aim... |

I fully agree on shooting with the finest quality possible at times, with the least amount of noise as possible.
Was only saying that with a little care, good quality prints can still be had at higher ISO levels.
20x30" print at ISO400:

I feel your pain, man. While on this trip:
I accidentally caught one of these bad boys rearing back to strike like a snake and catch a fish. I was showing it off on my LCD to other tourists to much aclaim. When I got home I found my flash card was corrupted. I set it aside to try and recover it later, then lost it. Doh!
BTW, I don't like ISO noise either, but if I have to choose betwen noise and motion blur I'll take the noise.
I like that suggestion about bursting - I'll have to try it. |

Just bump up the ISO.. noise can be removed or lessened, but you'll be hardpressed to salvage a motion blurred photo. I'd rather have a noisy image that was sharp, than a clean photo that's blurry.
I took a look at the examples produced from Focal Blade and they look like absolute rubbish, other than the feather photo which showed decent improvement. I'd just stick with unsharp mask.
