please post an example with EXIF data intact; we also need to know what lens (or lenses) are giving you difficulties...

It'll either be to low a shutter speed for hand holding, so up the ISO or open up the aperture or a combination of both or poss a focussing issue, is the lens focussing or have you accidently turned off AF on the camera or lens ?

Worst case its a camera / lens fault, but check the above first.

Your photos don't look bad. Were you using a wireless trigger or wired shutter release and tripod mounted? Where was your focus point?

Focus Range = Close (like in close-ups) for both pictures, that seems like a strange focus distance for that view?
