I HAVE TO TAKE A FAMILY PICTURE OF ABOUT 30 PEOPLE, THE LAST TIME I ATTEMPTED THIS, THE SUBJECTS ON THE END WERE KIND OF OUT OF FOCUS. WHAT SETTING WOULD YOU GUYS USE.
Out of focus, or distorted because you used a really wide angle lens?
Try out f/8 or f/11, make sure shutter is fast enough to stop blur as they fidget around, take several shots using the "motor drive" so you get a shot where no one is blinking.
"Thanks John !..the crispness surprised me somewhat as i had used a 13mm close-up/macro extension tube attached to a 50mm Prime, the shot didn't need any sharpening in PS either. Oh, and no not yet, though i keep trying.. lol !!.."
