EOS 80 blurry picture

[georgiaright55]

I have a Canon EOS 80 and seems every other picture I take is blurry. I wander if it’s the lens that I have. Any suggestions to what is the best lens to use for up close pictures? I am trying to capture the subject clear and the background blurry 
thank u for your help

I agree with John. A higher shutter speed will cancel out motion blur. The EF 135mm F/2L USM lens is unstabilized. If you're taking pictures inside watch how low your shutter speed gets. If it gets too low camera shake will be visible in your pictures.

I really feel I need to get another lens but for now I will have to use what I have. Thank u kindly

How do you hold your camera when you shoot?  If you hold it like a cell phone: at arms' length looking through the LCD, you will be far more prone to camera shake, especially with a telephoto lens.

If you are using this method, I strongly suggest you try the method below:
