Hi everyone!
How have you been? I've got lots of pictures to show you taken with my new lens
But I've been having some problems with my focus, I've already had my sensor cleaned professionaly and my lens are brand new. So I think it must be something I am doing wrong... Let's see if you can help me!
- I've been told that multi-focus points work just fine, so I'll use that a lot, but sometimes...
- I'll use only one point to focus in the model's eyes...
but still I find that my camera "decides" to focus somewhere else (and yes I use Auto-Focus - at least for most of the time).
Someone told me I should start pressing the shutter button half way when focusing where I want and then compose the picture. I must be honest, I haven't tried that yet and I wondering if you guys have any other ideas of what could be happening? And how can I fix this?
Pls, help....
Lots of love,
Ana Isabel/Dhary

Its amazing how through darkness, you can find light... (one cannot be without the other)
I remember saying in my last journal I didnt care about favs, comments and pageviews! I just wanted to be surrounded by light. And you guys were my light! The light that I needed...
Thank you for the amazing and nice supportive comments of love and understanding for me and my art:)
And of course this means I am staying:) Plus illusorya (https://www.deviantart.com/illusorya) and Owly58 (https://www.deviantart.com/owly58) would kill me after both of them giving me a membership
Miau miau =^.^=
Here's a featured selection of some great works by you, my dears:

Goodbye deviantart
I am considering deleting this account.
What I've experienced here on deviantart yesterday was really hurtfull to me.
Most of you didn't know half of the story and yet you were all like treating me like I was the one who's crazy. The copying and lying from that girl has been happening for years now... And when I saw that photo I thought it was bloody enough. So what if I wasn't the first one with that idea? I didn't do any digital art in mine... It was a photograph. But I know in my heart that she was copying me... Just like the time she copied mine "I am VIP=Very Important Photographer" and she changed it to "Very Important Photomographic"
News news and news!!!
Hi people!
I think it's about time I've made a new journal!!!
How are you guys?
I have 3 new photosessions to show you, posted one pic from the first session today: http://winterdruidess.deviantart.com/art/Sorceress-173710811
Also I've made enourmous changes to my website (yes I know... again!!!) and now it's exactly what I always wanted and don't think I will change it anytime soon. I have 4 new pics there if you want to check on portraits: www.anaisabel.org but I will be posting them here as well.
I also started writing again! I know some of you love my writings and I can tell you, you can now read it at my new blog: http://www.spiritg

-0- Depth of field : get some calculation tables if your camera have no dof button, sharp zone (focused) is 1/3 before the focus point, 2/3 behind the focus point roughly , but it depends of aperture of cause. Study this relation until it is in your blood and you dont have to think about it.
-1- type of focus :
Multifocus focus on the nearest object in sight, like if you use multifocus on a frontal portrait with a very short dof (aperture wide open) you focus on the nose, not on the eyes. This is more suitable for general photography.
If you camera allow single focus on several places, (a little square you can move on your viewfinder), place the focus to the nearest point to where you want to focus, half press : the camera will show you where the focus point will be (just around).
Imy nikon camera make the square blink and show the place).
This can be coupled with tracking for mobile objects, and is great for sports, animals, shows...
If your camera offer the above, it probably offer a way to "lock" the focus on a place, then you reframe.
I have another camera than yours, so study the manual to find out the buttons !
It is suitable for portraits, because in real situations the time to reframe is often too much.
If your camera have only one centered point of focus, and you still want to use autofocus, the locking is usually done by half pressing the shutter button.
Some lenses does not allow manual focus, just like old lenses doesnt allow AF. If your young eyes are still good, and you are quick, you would be surprised to realise how manual focus is easy, even easier than AF in shallow light. Try it and the focus will be really yours.
2-lens problem
This can happen. But if this happen with all you lenses, it
3-sensor problem ! Some Canon camera have this defect in some series. Google with "back focus canon"
You have to make methodic tries, even if it is boring. I suggest a tripod, a note sheet, and a graduated meter.
Hope it helps
