You're telling me! I have hundreds of blurry photos taken from inside(like the second one) and very few really nice ones like the first. My mom has a hummingbird feeder int eh side yard and I can almost hide behind a peach tree and snap a free shots - except for the wind which blows the branches over my subject just when I think I have a good shot
