Hi, I am posting a sooc image. It's out of focus. Here is my exif data. I used bbf, continuous focus in case one of the kids or dog moved. Can anyone tell me why the pic was not focused? I supposed I could have forgotten and left my finger on the bbf button and recomposed rather than locking it in. I don't remember. Speed too slow? ISO- 1250, 70mm, f9.0 and 1/250sec.
Frustrated
Thanks
Thanks for answers so far. Sorry, forgot to store original. Was using my 7-200 Nikkor lens, btw.
I don't want to be too hypercritical about this shot. But I would start over totally. The husband and wife need to be next to each other. They are the foundation of the family and must not have have the appearance of being separated by the kids. Then surround them with a daughter on each side and the son standing behind mom and dad. AND use a flash. The eyes here are dead and need a catchlight. As others have mentioned, use a shallower depth of field so that the background is oof. You can do much better with a "relationship style" of family portraits. Move in closer so that mom and dad are shown from the waist up--no one cares about their feet.
