For these first 2 pictures I would adjust either my shutter speed or f-stop/aperture to avoid these mistakes in the future.

To fix this mistake I could either use a tripod or set my shutter speed after I found out which speed is my comfortable setting to reduce my natural shake.

pictures

Komet Legend & Hall of Famer #16 Eddie Long & me
 This was a picture I took one day the Fort Wayne Childrens Zoo. The second I seen the bee drop onto the flower I knew it was a good shot, so i took it. It was taken with a cheaper pocket camera, but I still think it is a good one.
