Photography with Tripod.
I bought a tripod yesterday, and I own a Canon Rebel XTi Digital Camera. I'd like to take some photography of myself, but the problem is, when i put it on self timer and focus it where i will be, it focuses on the background, and when i get to where i'd like to stand, i'm not focused.
does anyone know how to fix this?

Generally the camera focuses on what seems to be the subject. Since you're not yet in the picture, it can't decide to focus in thin air by predicting where you'll be.
I don't think your camera has manual focus, so that's out--but check your book to be sure.
The easiest way would be to place something where you'll be. Most digital cameras (in my experience) focus when you press the shutter halfway down. This is so you can choose your focal point and then change your framing--in other words, so you can have your focus away from the centre of the picture (but that's really just extra information).
To take a focused picture of yourself, using the tripod, you're pretty much stuck using a placeholder, focusing on it, running over, shoving it aside, and posing. Not exactly the easiest job in the world, but it's about the only way to do it in my experience.
Best of luck.
