If you have a digital camera, check out the selection called "scenes." My camera is a GE, but I think that most cameras have a 'set' name for different modes.
Under 'scenes' you will find things like: Sports, Snow, Fireworks, Items behind a piece of glass, etc. You just may find a better shot of your projects (that you are placing in the Galleries or Forums).
When you are taking photos of children playing/running, be sure to use the "sports" setting for better pictures.
