Chip: Thanks for the suggestion. I've never used the 3d before and will try it tomorrow when we go back to the farm to practice with the kids.
RLucas: Thanks also for responding. I understand the DOF being the blur in the background, etc. But have never understood how to figure out what the dof in feet pertaining to the subject and surroundings. I also noticed that I used f2.8. Was thinking that was a BAD idea. I was shooting in Shutter Speed, and have since realized that I had ISO Auto Max set to 400. I am assuming that the Ap went as high (low number) as it could to try an compensate for the low light that day (cloudy day.)
Thanks for all your help.
