You need to get a firm handle on depth of field (DoF).
You're very right. I have a lack of knowlege on this. I am just starting to get a good handle on shooting in full manual mode. However knowing what distance to put between me and my subject seems like a harder skill to learn. There is only so much you can learn from a book, I guess I will just have to keep trying.

It sounds like you're experiencing depth of field, not focusing troubles.
You're right, I guess it is impractical to think that anyone could focus a whole face when only 1 inch is able to be in focus in the first place!


Thanks guys, I guess I really do just need more time to learn. I won't put it in the bag for storage just yet!
