Try standing farther back from your subject. If you get in to close with those low F stop lenses, you'll only get a part of the face in focus--like what your expressing. But if you back up and shoot from farther away, you'll love the result even more! Hey Jessica!

You don't even know how much it helps people like me! Quick (at least, I hope it is) question. I have a 50mm lens and when I shoot at 1.4 or 1.8 it seems that I may get something like the nose in focus, but the eyes are slightly out of focus. Is this b/c it is a 50mm or b/c I am too close? I love this lens (for the reasons you mention in the post), but when taking pictures of those fast toddlers, the 50/50 chance of the focus being right is driving me crazy. Thanks in advance!

Funny thing is that I know adults that have the same backpack, only since they are older they are "briefcases". =P This is great!

It's funny to me, because my daughters pre-school uses this same method to bring home art projects for kids who forgot their backpacks at home. Thank you for explaining how you got such rich colors. I have been wondering why all my pic's seem to be really dull. I was told by a photog. teacher that to shoot toddlers (who are always on the go) that I should alway shoot with ISO 400 or higher so my pic's won't be blurry. Now I need to experiment with all my ISO numbers and see what I get. I ordered your DVD's a few days ago and can't wait till they get here. Can't wait, can't wait. :0) Cute pic.
