Toy Photography - From Transformers to Non-Transformers

Dear Mr Optic, some advice if you please

Despite taking over a dozen shots of this same display with various multi autofocus points I can't seem to get Michaelangelo to get in focus (although I now notice that Leo is slightly out as well). Is there something I can do to get all turtles in focus in this formation?

Sorry to jump in but on a basic look. Its probably becos you're using auto-focus and as you're focusing on the middle of the image, the side of the image tends to be out of focus...

This is true for this particular image but I took about a dozen shots with multi focus picking all sorts of different positions to focus on and mikey was OOF in all of them. I notice now that he is standing further in front than leonardo, didn't notice this at the time.

I guess my real question is, is there a way to get all 4 of those turtles in focus at once, manual or automatic.

You need to look at the depth of field controls on your camera. it's either the f. stop or apeture size that has the most effect on it. I keep forgetting the details.

I'm a photography neophyte, but after wik-ing what you just said that makes sense. I'll give it a shot.

Hah! After far too much time messing about I finally found the shooting mode that would allow me to control the aperture size. To great effect!

No worries, i'm very amature myself, I've just done a little reading in the past.

your new photo looks great. nicely focused.
