I am just now reading all of these tutorials, but they are extremely helpful, so THANK YOU!!! I do have one quick question though… I have a Canon Rebel T2i and a Canon 50mm f/1.8. I have the HARDEST time trying to get it to focus correctly on a subject if it’s more than 2-3 feet away. I bought this lens because everyone raved about it being the “go to lens” for everyday shooting, but it blurs every time I try to shoot something at a short distance. Please offer any advice that you may have. Thank you so very much!

Kristine, thanks for the great info! (And thanks Kelly for sharing this!) This question is a little off topic, but what lens would you recommend for taking portraits and head shots? Would you recommend a higher or lower aperture?
