my camera is several years old, i do the press the shutter button halfway. sometimes it's hard to see if it's exactly in focus. sometimes if it looks focused on the screen, it's uploaded onto the computer only to find out that it's out of focus. anyways, i am a photo major and am learning new things everyday and loving it!! :-) thanks for the feedback.

Hi Nicole...
I think most of us fairly new t digital photography have been there with focusing!
When I was using a P&S (and if I use my trusty old CoolPix 4300 today) I try to keep a mind on the focussing - the simplest way for 90% of p&s cameras and most compositions (potentially not highly contrasted or strongly backlit scenes) is to ensure your subject is centre frame and then half-press your shutter to lock the focus (and exposure) - most will automatially focus to centre frame.
You can then re-frame to the desired composition and all should be well.
Another way to do this is to focus on something the approximate correct distance and then switch to manual focus (some cameras have an option to 'single shot' focus and then keep that setting)
I look forward to seeing more of your work!
Thanks
Steve

thanks so much for the feedback! I noticed that the feet were out of focus and wished i could have done something about it...but by that time it was too late, i plan to play some more with pictures such as this one, but it's hard to get good shots with my point and shoot digital, b/c i can't control whats in focus and what's not for the most part. that's what happened with this image, when shooting i couldn't tell what was in and out of focus til after it was uploaded --this is my cousin, so by the time i uploaded the pictures to my computer, he was gone for the day, so the next time i see him i will be shooting more so...hoepfully we can reshoot and fix the problem, and i enjoy constructive criticism thanks! :-)

Hi Nicole.
I think it is a shame no-one commented on this image - because I think the viewpoint, subject and composition - as well as the grainy presentation have a lot of promise.
I do think however - that much of the positives are lost by a the confusion that the apparent subject of this photo is a press-stud on the baby's clothing!
Really - the bg in sharp focus does nothing to add to this shot in my humble opintion. I think this shot would have been great set up exactly the same, with the same DOF - but with the feet themselves in focus.
unfortunately - the shot as it is presented looks like an 'accident'.
I hope that you will take my criticism as constructive - I really do think there is a great potential here!
All the best
Steve
