The girl wears many hats!




Thanks for looking!
Manual mode. Manual focus- 50mm f/1.8. SS 1/100, f/3.2, ISO 400.

P.S. I'm having some issues with focus... I tend to get one eye in focus while the other is blurry. What's the deal? Any tips?

I think it's because your DOF is really narrow. 1.8 does not allow much of the image to be tack sharp. It takes a lot of practice. Have you even given back button focusing a try? i would encourage you to try it. Darling hats, especially the trapper one in #2-my personal favorite kinds of hats.

These are beautiful! Maybe your focus issue is because your using f/3.2. You'd have more depth of focus with a smaller aperture, like f/5.6. Just a thought. . .

OK, wait...I just noticed that it was 3.2 you took these at. Make sure the eyes are on the same plane, that will make it a bit easier to get each one in focus. Personally, as long as the eye closest to me is in focus, it does not bother me.

Love that second shot with the eyes reinforced by the hat. Wonderful! Her smile in the 3rd is adorable.

Heather alrady covered it I think! But I recently learned the same thing. I try to focus on the eye closest to me, and keep it at f/2.8 or f/3.2 with my girls. Really cute shots and hats!

She looks adorable. I think everyone already covered your focus issue. I struggle so much with good focus on people indoors because when I try to up my aperture I often get camera shake with the slower shutter speed because my hands are so unsteady.
