Hi,
I've been doing photography for a while now, but usually just adjust the iso, and different lighting rather than using flash- because when using flash it seems to add too much shine to the image. however i just recently started using a flash gun, just for the extra lighting, whilst i wait for my studio lighting to arrive. since doing this almost 50% of the images i took have blurred in gone out of focus or the camera has just stopped focusing altogether and refuses to take the photo- i've used a tripod to make sure it wasn't due to camera shake and it didnt make a difference.
So i just wanted to know if anyone has any ideas on what i can do to help, limit or stop this from happening- because i've been getting some really good poses and framing but had to get rid of the photos due to them being soft in focus. any help would be much appreciated.
Also, just as something extra, i was wondering if anyone knows of some good shooting locations around cardiff, or of any good or interesting poses for people photography or group photography- been doing alot of work with singular models, but started getting couples ( two people) and also groups, but not sure on what would look good, but something thats different to the everyday group shots you always see.
location wise-i'm looking for locations for fashion/swimware shoots, as the other styles i do are indoors.
