The lens is staying open. You need to use a tripod or other support so the camera does not move during the shot.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

buy a GOOD tripod that will last you years rather than a walmart one that will need replacing

Post one of the shots so we can look at the exif data & see exactly what might be wrong, but I'd tend to agree that you are likely using too slow a shutter speed to effectively hand hold the camera.
