Here is an example of what I am talking about (for some reason it's not letting me load it as a picture). I had my focus point on the couple but the tree next to the couple is much more in focus than the couple itself. I do realize that the tree is slightly in front of the couple which could make a difference..however this same thing happens when they are on the same DOF and even when the background is behind the couple. <br>

I did shoot this lower than f/11 by the way..I had it set at f/3.5. So that could be an issue as well. <br>

Thanks for all your help..I am looking into the different advice people have given</p>

<p>Hello there! <br>

I am a portrait photographer. I have no issues with pictures with a short DOF...everything is crisp and in focus. However..when I attempt to do a picture with a large DOF..for example like a couple in a field far away..the couple is not in focus. Often things around the couple like the field or background maybe more in focus than the couple itself. <br>

I keep the focus point right directly on the couple and I do not move my camera at all when I take the picture. I am wondering if its either 1. I need to invest in higher grade prime lenses 2. It is something I am doing wrong with my settings. I usually shoot wide open if I can but I am wondering if I need adjust that for this type of picture. <br>

The two primes that I have been using are 50 mm 1.8 and 35 mm 2.0. I'm definitely looking to upgrade one if not both of these in the near future. <br>

Thank you so much! Thank you for your friendly responses. </p>

<p>Thank you all so much! You have given me a lot to think about.</p>

<p>This is my first time posting in a thread. So I wasn't sure which section to post in. I didn't expect people to respond so quickly! Also I didn't know how to delete my first thread. Just looking for some<strong> </strong>friendly help. </p>

<p>Thank you Richard! I'm probably going to rent the lens I decide to go with first to make sure I like it. Also I would rather buy the better lens right away because I will just want to upgrade again right after. Thanks again!</p>

<p>Hello!<br />I cannot decide between Canon 24-70 mm 2.8 vs. Canon 24-105 mm 4.0. I am a wedding/portrait photographer. Right now I have a 50d camera. So I like the wider angle of the 24-105. But at the same time I like the 2.8 f/stop vs. the 4.0 f/stop. Anyone have either of these or another suggestion? I need to decide soon!<br>

Also- once I upgrade to the full body camera-would you still suggest the same lens? Thanks so much!</p>
