Fisherman

I took this shot before Thanksgiving, but was disappointed with the quality.  The man's face is slightly blurry due to the metering set incorrectly.  I've done some researching and corrected this mistake.  I still am not happy with the quality of the picture, but I like the subject, so here it is:

Thanksgiving 2011

I finally got around to looking at the few shots I took during Thanksgiving this year, but I am less than happy with them for the sole reason that I kept getting out of focus shots using auto-focus, which is infuriating because I can't use manual focus.  (I wear eyeglasses)

I finally discovered why all of my shots were coming out blurry; I had the metering set incorrectly, which cause the focus points to lose their sharpness.  (After a quick change of settings tonight, my test shots look great.)
