Preventing your subject from being out of focus

It may be difficult to get your subject in focus when:

-there is little contrast between the subject and background

(for example, when your subject is wearing clothing that is similar in color to the background)

-the light source behind the subject is too bright

-the subject is shiny or reflective

-the subject includes horizontal patterns, such as blinds

-the subject is not positioned in the center of the frame
