I have a sharpness problem that I'm not sure how to solve. Used a monolight to expose dog but had to set camera exposure for dark forest. Settings: ISO 400, f 10 aperture, and .4 shutter speed and used a tripod. I know shutter is the problem but I had to have the forest exposure so the background was not black. Any suggestions on how not to make this mistake again?
First of all, how did you get the dog to sit still in a costume? So cute.
Always focus on the eyes, and adjust your f-stop from there. Maybe 7.1 or 8. Background is often expected to be less sharp, causing the eye to focus on your subject. So, don't worry about getting all that in focus, especially when it's a dark scenario. Focus and expose for the dog. In post adjust the shadows and highlights. As an alternative, you could plant a light in that bright section at the back, to help out the look.

For Football I used a 150-600 on a DX crop mode camera Nikon D750, on a tripod. That DX mode gave me an additional 1.5 times more reach. Then I had a second camera around my neck with my 28-300. I'd quickly switch to that when the players came towards me, too close for the 150. You have to kind of know what moves might be coming next to know when to switch. For only one camera, use the widest range. I liked my 28-300 fine. There is a Tamron 18-400 that my hubby uses and it is DX cropped.

YES! This was just a scrimmage. Guess I'll be learning about night shots....but I am still taking classes, so I can pick the professor's brain.
Thanks everyone.

We don't live in the path of the Eclipse and I didn't have glasses etc, so I took quick photos using my live screen. At one point it was cloudy, and this is my fav....the original and cropped close up.

I try to avoid shooting any faces in my landscape photos, especially children. With all the crazies out there, you don't want to be lumped in with them. A chat with the parent first, business card or maybe make an appointment would be a better way to go about it. When we were at niagara I did take crowd photos....of people taking selfies....but no one seemed to care.

If I had a light, if I wasn't shooting through a window glass, if the people hogging the ledge would have moved...that sounds interesting.
