[QUOTE="bluenoser, post: 49969, member: 6351"] Hi Nikki (I think that's your name?). Okay, I just grabbed the first photo I came across for an example: [IMG]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7045/6845500560_3fe2ed03fb_b.jpg[/IMG] Yes the face area is blurry but if you notice the lettering on the shirt it looks quite sharp. In your ViewNX software, does the focus point (i.e. red box) show up at all and if it does, where does it show up? That's not the be all and end all but I'm just curious. How far were you from your son when you took this? The minimum focus distance for the 18-105 lens is about 1.4 feet. If your son's head was slightly inside that distance then it will not be in focus. Also, assuming you were around 1.5 feet away from your son, then the total depth of field you have to work with is only about 2" with the D7000 at f/8 (i.e. a very small area to be in focus). Here is another random shot I chose - you shot this at f/16 on the 18-105. Not a good idea - [URL="http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/understanding-series/u-diffraction.shtml"]diffraction[/URL] sets in probably just after f/11 (or quite possibly before) and makes things softer. The 18-105VR is an excellent lens but the D7000 is punishing on anything but the best lenses. The extremely high pixel density (not just high resolution) mandates that you develop rock solid hand holding techniques and use higher shutter speeds. The D7000 does not suffer newbies gladly! :) It took me at least 3 or 4 months with my D7000 before I felt like I had a decent handle on how to get along with it.
