Easy fix, that one, mate. HOLD CAMERA STILL. See? Easy Peasy!

Nah. It's ok mate. Some of these fandangled digital cameras want you to stay still while the camera processes and saves the image unless you change the settings.
It took me a while to adjust when I got my state-of-the-art 2 MP Vivitar camera. After using a Hanimex 35mm point-and-shoot with 400 film in it for 'on the move' shots, I can say that I used quite a few sets of batteries before anything worth saving showed up after a ride.

After a while, though. You do get the hang of it. I took a series of pics going down Cunninghams Gap just on dusk. The guys in front shat, thinking they'd just been done by a revenue raiser, but after half a dozen similar shots, they worked out what was going on and accosted me at the next fuel stop. Mind you, I've got the pics to record the event, and no one winged when they got the pics in the mail.
