Just some Photos and a quick hello

1,2,4,6,7 are out of focus, you got their cuffs, jackets and shirts in focus but not the face. Did you use the selective focus( not sure if thats the correct term) Adjusting where the focus would be? Or just Auto? I find that easy to forget, but very important with my 50mm 1.8.

I can see all of this information in bridge. Is there a easy way to export the photo data so i can copy all of the information?

You shutter speed should always be 1/focal length. So if you're shooting at 200mm, it should be 1/200 at least. Shooting at 18mm it should be 1/20 at the slowest. Unless you have IS or VR.

Thank you now that you say that I remember hearing that before. I know I was well over 1/50 on the shots though!

That rule only accounts for camera shake. It does nothing to solve subject motion. My rule of thumb is when shooting living subjects, stay at 1/125th and faster (1/250th is ideally better), if you find that to be underexposed, add light.

1/50 will not freeze motion.

I just went thru my pictures and a few were over 125, I really think the problem is either my aperture or I not using the AF points correctly and its on verious parts of the picture except the face like i would want!

Do you suggest selecting a single AF point and focusing using only that point on the subjects face?

Thanx everyone for helping me out so far!!!

Thats what I do with the 50mm, with my Canon 30d its pretty easy to flip through them without moving your eye from the eyepiece.
