Learning proper exposure is the basis of all that is photography, and BetterPhoto has lots of great courses that will take the mystery out of it all and make you confident with your camera. Your photo needs more DOF (Depth of Field). With a group photo like the one, you posted, a shallower DOF like f/2.8 has a limited plane that will be in focus so unless everyone is equally the same distance from the lens, some will be less sharp. The easy fix is to increase your DOF to maybe f/8 or f/11, and I would even go f/16 if you have enough light to keep your shutter speed fast enough. Jim Zuckerman teaches a great exposure class and also has a book on the subject. Take his class, you won't regret it :) I shot a photo of a small group on the fly at a festival (a snapshot really) but at f/7.1, I was able to get the five friends in focus as they were close to the same plane :) Love in Light, Carlton
