    Hello. I'm Andy from Indiana. I'm a complete amateur, but am interested in the science and discipline and willing to spend the time, money, and effort needed to get better.

    I had been content with a pretty basic DSLR until a year ago when I realized I was missing too many moments when taking pictures of children. The autofocus on the camera I was using was just too slow. So I got a Canon t7i. I've subsequently added 50mm and 85mm prime lenses to the 18-55mm and 55-250mm kit lenses.

    I'm very happy with how the t7i handles, with the settings and controls, etc. I'm happy with the special setting, though most of the time I use the Av setting. I'm catching the movement like I couldn't before. I like everything about it but the sharpness of the images. On many of my images, the sharpest focus is a centimeter closer than where I wanted it to be.

    I did not understand, when I got the t7i the full implications of APS-C versus full frame. And I wasn't aware of the need for lens calibration and the fact that the camera I was buying didn't do that.

    So, that's where I'm at. Thanks for creating this forum.
