I wouldn't touch the micro adjustments... that's not the problem here, it's just the need to learn how to focus using such a narrow focal plane that's required.
I can't remember if you replied to my question about if you used centre point focussing and recompose, as that's a big no no when it comes to shooting wide open. When dealing with maybe a couple mm's DOF then doing centre/recompose can change the distance to subject by that or more meaning the lens then focusses on the wrong part of the image. Always choose the nearest focal point and use that.
Yeah I missed that, sorry mate. I use the single point on the 7D for portraits, aiming the focal point on the eyes. Sometimes I set it to chest and drag the composition for full body shots - I can see why that would render the face out of focus with a shallow DOF like, hmm.. I was doing that allot on that shoot, was swapping from head/shoulders to full body quite abit..
Haha yeah I was a little confussed by that but decided to let it slide due to personal tastes etc.
Lots of practice yes, but you look like you had a good model so it's so much of a chore to practice eh?
definitely helps. I'm doing a 60's fashion shoot next Sunday (weather permitting), the model is not of the same standard though, but massive chebs all the same.
