Balu was nearly 10 months old here - about a month ago - and always on the go. Not sure if I have just missed the focus (looked sharper before I uploaded!) Try, try and try again!!
Always good to receive your C&Cs.

You have missed the focus but the pose is wonderful. 10/10 for trying. You'll get there.
What a cutie, keep going you will soon get the hang of it,well done..Lin
Hi Ju, The focal length and aperture shown in the EXIF data doesn't make much sense to me. Having said that it seems the focus point is on the grasses level and above with the dogs ears. Just check that the focus on the camera is set to 'continuous' and not single in future. It's also a good idea to do a quick burst of shots in a situation like this then you have a better chance of getting one in focus, hope this may help,
Geoff.
Thanks Geoff, not sure I know how to put it on continuous though!!
I think my trouble is I am beginning to not put it on the correct aperture etc. without wearing specs (which I hate) as there is no way I would have put it on "slow" speed or f1. Woops! It looks like I shall be wearing specs a bit more.

Hi, just had look at the manual on the web for this camera and Page 49 explains how to do this and also an explanation between single and continuous as follows:
The following three focus modes are available with this camera.
You can take pictures by combining S-AF or C-AF mode with MF mode. g “Simultaneous
use of S-AF mode and MF mode (S-AF+MF)” (P. 51), “Simultaneous use of C-AF mode and
MF mode (C-AF+MF)” (P. 51)
S-AF (single AF)
Focusing is performed once when the shutter button is pressed halfway.
If focusing fails, release your finger from the shutter button and press it halfway again. This
mode is suitable for taking pictures of still subjects or subjects with limited movement.
Press the shutter button halfway.
• When the focus is locked, the AF confirmation mark lights up.
• A beep sound is output when the subject is in focus.
C-AF (continuous AF)
The camera repeats focusing while the shutter button
remains pressed halfway. When the subject is in motion, the
camera focuses on the subject in anticipation of its movement
(Predictive AF). Even if the subject moves or you change the
composition of the picture, the camera continues trying to
focus.
I am not familiar with the camera myself but thought this may help,
Geoff.
