[QUOTE="manlyman, post: 371737, member: 33714"] Alright I get it - so back to square one then, since FX and f/1.4 glass is out of the question budget wise. So I hide the bookshelf background by placing a plain featureless background behind my subject. Is there any particular lens (or focal length) you would recommend at 10 feet distance for a nice protrait shot on a DX? Hmm...and I thought indoors would be easier since I can freely manipulate the lighting conditions. Wishful thinking at work I guess. P.S.: I just had a funny thought - I take a shot of the bookshelf - blur it nicely in photoshop - print out the blurred background and put it as a large poster behind my subject ...but that would probably look even more weird :) [/QUOTE]
