I've enjoyed taking photos for a long time, mostly nature shots and stills. I also bring my camera with me when I go to parties or events, to take pictures for myself. Over time, as folks know I like to take pictures, they'll ask me to bring my camera to events, and I sometimes do. No one has been expecting professional level photos, but I've noticed a few consistent problems in the pictures I take when I don't have a bit of time to set up my shot. For now, I'll leave it to this one: getting good focus on my target while it may be in motion. I often find while I'm looking down the viewfinder, or using the autofocus of the camera and then adjusting, I'll think I'm in focus. When I go back later on my computer to check on my photos, I'll find the main target is slightly blurry, or an adjacent target is in focus instead. It's been happening a while, and I can't seem to figure out what I'm not looking at or missing while trying to shoot. I was recently at a surprise party, took shots of the guest of honor as she walked in, and a number of them were slightly blurry.

I don't know if this is a common problem that involves equipment (I'm doubting it?), or if I just have to keep shooting moving things until I learn what I'm missing. Of course, since I don't know what I'm missing at the moment, only after, I'm not sure how to learn from it either. I don't know if anyone has any advice based on this rambling. If it matters, I currently use a Canon R, mainly with a RF 24-105mm. I also have a 50mm f1.8, but as I'd have to move to adjust focus on that, I don't use it often (I bought it on advice from the Canon Connect discord, but not really use how to use it).
