As a rule of thumb, the minimum shutter speed for hand held shots is considered to be the reciprocal of the focal length of the lens in use.

So for a 300mm lens, use 1/300th sec min, for a 500mm lens, 1/500th sec and so on. Note that this is for 35mm cameras, and so is OK for the EOS 5D, but for the 300D, 350D, 400D and other digital cameras with smaller sensors, you will need to multiply by a factor of 1.6 (in the case of Canons).

Nice shots, by the way!
