WOW!!!!! Okay, I see now. Thank you so much for a visual.

I normally try keeping at around f/5 - f/8 (because I like shallow DOF) so I guess that is why I have never run into this issue before.
Thanks everyone

Thank you for the info - that will be food for thought next time I take photos.

Ok, Thanks everyone. I appreciate your replies.
So would I have been better backing up so that I was further away from them then zooming in? Would that have made more difference to the F stop I would have had to use?
I totally agree about the shutter speed - I am pretty shaky so I like to have a quick shutter speed but because it was on AV priority I couldn't change that other than upping the ISO. As you can see, it wasn't a very dark day so I don't know why it was still a slow shutter speed (other than the fact to using F22)

To be honest, I was trying to take a quick photo because the guy was getting annoyed that I was taking too long taking the photos.
Previous photos had her in focus but not him. Started at F8 then F10 and so on. All had him no in focus. I also had it on Apature priority
Thank you for that info.

Hi all.
I hadn't used my camera in a few months when I took this photo. I have never been real happy with the sharpness of my images but I know that is my problem. But this has happened. I don't know if I have done something wrong or if the camera needs a service. I tried taking more photos (because I could see straight away that they weren't sharp - normally it takes them getting onto the computer screen for me to notice) with differing settings to fix the problem but it just got worse. I tried changing ISO and shutter speed because I was trying to get the two people to be sharp but as I said it just got worse. Can this image and info tell you what I am doing wrong. Sorry there isn't much info because it was shot in JPEG (I had it set to that for a previous photo that I knew I wouldn't be able to convert before taking to get printed at a kiosk).

Hi
I have had my *ist DL for about 4 yrs now. I would really like to upgrade to the 20D but finances aren't available.
Anyway, I have only just noticed that my *ist DL is not giving true colour. I was trying to take a photo of my purple flowers the other day but no matter what settings I had they showed up bluish when the photo was taken.
Someone suggested that I "ICC profiling" my screen (I dont know if they meant my computer screen or the camera screen). Can anyone fill me in on this? It shows the bluish colour instead of the purples on the camera and computer screens.
Is there any other way to fix it? Or is it just something that I have to deal with until I get better camera? I have only noticed it with purples so far.
Any help would be wonderful.:)

Thanks so much for your advice. I have been trying to use only manual option with my camera lately after reading advice on a photography website. It is hard because I never know what shutter speed to use with my apature as it doesnt have a light meter like the pentax SLRs have. I miss that light meter.

Hello. I am new here. I have had my *ist DL for a few years now. I would like to eventually get a K20D however I don't have the money. So in the meantime I would be very interested in any tips and trick fellow *ist DL users have to take great photos with this particular camera. Also any suggestions on must have accessories for this camera would be great. I am sure other *ist DL users would appreciate this thread also as this particular camera doesn't have much info on it out there (only reviews).
Thanks everyone.
