I need help!!!!!

[grandpaw]

Thanks Roy and Marcel for the encouragement. I am fairly confident that I can pull this off even though it is my first try. I believe posing them will be the bigger problem. I remember back to 1971 when I bought my Nikon F on a Tuesday and then shot two weddings the first weekend I had it. I have more guts than I do have good sense!

Well I didn't have anyone to practice on before I went this morning. Thought I would post an image to let you see how my first ever try went. I see several things that could be better but for my first attempt I was happy. If I had some photoshop skills it would help also.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news Jeff, but this one is out of focus. I can see the focus got stuck on the frame on the wall in the background... When I work with a group and flash like you did, I use a tripod, focus and then TURN the auto-focus OFF.

Marcel I agree with you on the focus of this image being off. I rechecked the rest and they are OK I am still pleased with how everything went for my first time!
