Cathy, Some helpful courses to be found here on Udemy. Some are even free :-) http://www.udemy.com/courses/search?q=lightroom or Julieanne Kost website http://www.jkost.com/lightroom.html Lovely Pics btw.

exif data is now available for this image. http://www.flickr.com/photos/restorecalm/7631158680/

Thank you so much. I took quite a few pics like this in Liverpool and they all looked the same way. Photoshop next stop then. Thanks again. P.S. Sorry there was no exif data, my fault I didn't change the settings in LR.

What do you think is going on here with the buildings falling away to the right and falling away to the left ? http://www.flickr.com/photos/restorecalm/7631158680/

Here is an image Xjacktar of the -6 adjustment. (Focus is on large stone center top of wall) Yes using minus did move the focus closer to the camera as in previous -5 -4 -3 shots the sensor was focusing on the stone behind. http://flic.kr/p/cmWrK7

Thank You everyone....much of this.....No... Sorry, all of this is down to my inexperience. Thanks for all your advice. To cut a long story short my lens is fine tuned to -6 and all is well.....Both lens and camera are new so I might still leave them in for calibration. I want the camera though...

http://flic.kr/p/ckMVVy Ball @ default 0 http://flic.kr/p/ckMVhy Ball @ -20 75 sharpening in LR and Iso 400 don't help much, but you get the picture.

Thanks ah5168, With each step back from -20 I lose sharpness of the lettering on the ball. Guess I need to use the focus chart tomorrow and get a more accurate result

Thank's Steve2, At default 0 the subject is not in focus at all, It back focuses. The lettering on the ball improves in sharpness all the way down to -20. P.S. Maidstone is a lovely place, I've a sister living near you in Frittington.

Thank you gman, No I haven't used the chart yet but I will. I Didn't use 3d tracking but used spot focus.

I've had to adjust the Af-Fine Tune all the way to -20 on my D7000 and I'm not just 100% sure that this if hitting the spot for me. Here is a test shot with the focus being on the golf ball. It's shot at f2.8, 200mm ISO 400, 1/300, Spot, Matrix, AF-C. What do you think ? Should the grass be so...

Nikon say's only five working day's for a replacement :thumbs: Happy shooting John :cool: Meanwhile it's videos for me, check out "Don Giannatti" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itwMH_nGoMk
