Hi
I'm a wedding photographer and when I use my D300 to take a larger group of people shot, the first 3 or 4 are in focus but as the people span out they are more and more out of focus. How do I get everyone in the photo all in focus?

Thanks
Robby

What do you have your f-stop set as? It sounds more like a depth of field
Issue more than a focus issue.
a rule i kind of follow is to use an f stop based on the number of people in the photo. so if there are 10 people, i might use f/12..... 8 people i would use f/8, etc. I would think it's more that than anything else with focus.
This is a great tip! Thank you.
I have to agree with the other comments and to add this link, as I think you are new to photography.
