My bike's rear rack got broken, while I was waiting for the welder to have time to work on it with me(which I didn't get any shots of, it was a two person job so I was busy)
Here he is welding up a alternator bracket, the welding table was just a hydralic press, and the welder was an ancient and frequently smoking stick welder. it was turned on by jamming a couple bare wires into a loose homemade plug.

I'm shooting a 35mm LTD macro.
I've been starting to wonder why I keep ending up with blurry pictures of people when I have center focus on, I focus directly on their face(usually on an eye) and end up with bad results. I thought it was me screwing up somehow.
Playing around with it in other ways, it seems to give me great shots still really close up, when I zoom it it's still crisp, but at longer distances it just sucks.
I've been able to recover somewhat with sharpening, but it still isn't good.
I noticed that if I use Live View, I get a consistently good focus.
Is this a sign that I should use one of the focus adjustment charts?
It is spoiling some otherwise really good shots.
This one came out ok after a lot of sharpening and fiddling around, but I focused on her right eye, and it's clearly not focused there.
most of the others are way worse, like this, consistently.
Is this just me aiming badly, or could this be an actual issue with the camera? It seems to me that is it too consistent, I have it set to always center focus, but I'm frequently getting the background in focus when I aim at people's faces.
Set to full auto focus I tend to get slightly better results, but still not what I'd call crisp by any stretch of the imagination, except for very close up shots.
