[QUOTE="eurotrash, post: 75956, member: 9237"] I wasn't really concerning myself with technicalities to be honest. I just set most things to auto and concerned myself with the dof alone. They weren't exactly glamor shots ;) Does this very thin DOF make it harder to control the DOF even when the focal point is set on your subject? I would think that it would at least focus on your subject, say, a mailbox at 50 yards. The mailbox itself would be in focus, however anything in front or behind that focal point would be blurred. Sound somewhat correct? How do wedding photographers shoot at 2.8 and get good shots of people without having their ears out of focus? Close up, I'm the man with dof, like insects and flowers and things. But at distance, it's not something I've played with very much. Pardon my basic questions, I just feel I need a little bit of a refresher and didn't know where else to turn! You guys know everything :distrust: [/QUOTE]
