In fact I don't even know how to use the autofocus feature on the D700 so I just have it disabled in the menus. In all honesty, if I even knew 10% of what the D700 is capable of, I would be surprised, I just don't have a need for it.  The first thing I did, actually I ordered it simultaneously, when I got my D700, was to get a microprism/ground glass focusing screen for it because the screens which are in cameras designed for autofocus (from the F4 onward) are generally unsuitable for critical manual focusing. So to answer your question, I focused on her face. The camera and 300mm f/2.8 lens were mounted on a tripod to minimize any loss of sharpness due to camera movement because it was overcast and later in the day and it is very rare when I up the ISO past 100.</p></blockquote><p></p>
