It's your lens. Sorry to say.

Turn off your image stabilization..if it has any Nope
Manual focus Had it auto, but it would hunt right past my subject, so I got it close and the let the auto fine tune it (maybe it was wrong, i don't think so though)
Put it on a timer did
Lowest possible ISO 400-800 without flash
Do a mirror lockup as well this is the one thing that I think I can control and than you (both) for suggesting
Set it to Aperture Priority.... so your camera determines the shutter speed. this is how I usually shoot
Let it shoot and do not touch the camera.
Shoot at around F6.3 up to about F10 and see if the image improves. why this range? your reasoning might help me in general

Good luck man.

Thank you SO much.

You use the lowest possible ISO on long exposures because you are letting in a lot of light and other elements. It will make the picture noisy. Hence the lowest iso to keep that detail

Shoot in that aperture range because most lenses are sharpest there. Just to test. You can shoot in all your aperture ranges to see how the lens reacts.

ANother thing..don't use flash.

Sorry...I don't even know which lens you have.

Talk about confidence that the building was going to fall right on top of itself, they left a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of heavy equipment right next to the building during the demo.

I wish I had popped the flash up for a little bit of fill. Oh well, live and learn.
