I am frustrated and don't know why this is.

I know that if I don't use my cable release and or timer on a tripod, that I will have more blurred images than not from pushing down on the shutter and causing some movement. So this weekend, I went out shooting and I used my tripod with cable release and wasn't even touching my tripod when it took the photo nor was it windy. Some photos still came out blurry. Then I went back out this morning and I thought I would try to take a few photos with my camera on tripod and use the self timer to see if that makes a difference, and same thing.

I use a Bogen 3021? (something along that line) and use Bogen 3265 tripod head and am using Canon 20D.

So if I can't take good photos with pushing the shutter myself, using a cable release, using self timer, then what? We are talking shutter speeds between 1/6th and 1/80th second.

Any advice, suggestions, etc would be very much appreciated!! I need all I can get.

Thank you.........
Michele
