Apr 29, 2013 19:06 | #3 Some of them were..... I don't know what is up with my auto focus... I tried using the face detection setting figuring it would do a better job than the regular setting...but I think that made it slower or something. It was about a 50/50 split on OOF and perfectly focused :P "Photography has no rules. It is not a sport. It is the result which counts, no matter how it was achieved." ~ Bill Brandt

It was about a 50/50 split on OOF and perfectly focused :P What focus mode are you using? I"m not talking about manual/auto setting on the lens... but what setting in camera? Full auto, single point? Best to use single point focus and get it right on one of their eyes. If you go full auto, the camera doesn't know if you want to focus on the boy, the girl, the boy's hand instead of the eyes, etc. Cameras often focus on the closest object... which is rarely the eyes.

That's the only thing I changed and I think I paid for it "Photography has no rules. It is not a sport. It is the result which counts, no matter how it was achieved." ~ Bill Brandt

Apr 29, 2013 20:33 | #6 It didn't help that my youngest thought it was funny to keep running through shots :P I think I was partly too hurried and not taking enough time. "Photography has no rules. It is not a sport. It is the result which counts, no matter how it was achieved." ~ Bill Brandt

That's the only thing I changed and I think I paid for it  But, since all anyone is going to do is look at these online or as 4x6s.... I'm trying not to beat myself up over it. With my son's schedule that day I had 20 mins to shoot and I just didn't have time to double check things. I spent the whole morning testing everything out and it was good.... I don't know why I messed with it. :PShooting through the Live View screen results in REALLY slow focusing. Don't ever use it unless you're doing landscapes.

You would have had to use the LCD screen to compose the shot.

Sounds like you may do a reshoot. If so move the arbor back closer to the field to eliminate the trees growing out of their heads. You will be much happier with the results I believe. krispyk

I don't know....going to go back to the way I used to do things... if it isn't broke...don't fix it..right? :P "Photography has no rules. It is not a sport.

I wish I could.... but no way I'm going to get those kids to get all dressed up again :P My son's schedule is so busy I rarely even get to see him anymore :P Like I said.... it was for me and the memories... I can live with it :P And that actually was the best background I could find here in my yard.... if I had more time to plan I would have set it up somewhere completely different.... but like I said, only had like 20 mins to shoot.... and he never could have found the time to drive them to a location away from home "Photography has no rules.
