Also, you want to focus about one third of the distance from the front of the group to the rear. This may require you to use manual focus. Fortunately, with group shots you should have plenty of time to set things up. You should be using a smaller aperture, like F/11 or F/16 if possible for maximum depth of field. I see you did this in your posted group shot. I would recommend a tripod for a group shot if practical, unless you have enough experience to ensure you will not have motion induced blur handheld. It looks to me that in the group shot the right hand end of the line is sharper than the left hand side. This may be due to not being parallel.</blockquote>
