Can anyone tell me why my pictures of my dogs look fuzzy in the blog header? The back ground is so crisp. Is the camera focusing on the back ground and not the dogs?

humm, I wish I knew more about photography, I am lucky I can get my dogs heads in the pictures and focused, LOL
The camera definitely focused on the background, but I think that is because the dogs (especially Miley) weren't quite in the center of the image. If you were in an "auto" mode, the focus points are usually in the center.
Plus, it looks like a tough lighting situation...light in foreground, darker behind.
Its a great photo! Photography is tough!
Yea , I thought about the light issue also. Its a funny picture because the dogs look like I photo shopped them into the picture. Weird. Diana
The camera did focus on the background. I assume you are using a digital camera with auto focus. To work around this, first put one of the dogs in the center of the picture and press the picture button halfway down - this will lock in the focus. Then, while continuing to hold the button halfway down, move the camera (without you or the dogs moving) to frame the picture and then press the button all the way down. This is the way most digital cameras work today. Chris
Cool photo any way though!
This is a lovely photo. Chris is right about the auto digital camera. I normally press half way down and make sure the little green square is focus on the dogs before pressing the button.
Something else to try....
Position your dog so the sunlight is shining into their eyes. Early morning or evening light is best - rather than right over the top during the day. The thing is, even though you are standing in the shade, there is natural light all around. Find that natural light and have your dogs face it. Just a quick glance into their eyes for the sparkle will tell you if you have found it
What everyone said about the focus is correct - but another tip - turn the flash off. The flash left red in one dog's eyes and washed the white of the other out. If you can get the sunlight correct (not back lit) - go back to that same spot, move the dogs up into the sunlight (put them in the position you want) back up, focus on the area you want to frame & turn off the flash - you should get a nice shot! .
Good luck!
