[QUOTE="AK Badger, post: 60538, member: 9851"] My husband surprised me with a Nikon D7000 for my birthday yesterday. I'd been playing with his for the last few months, and developed quite an interest. Prior to that, I was a point and shoot/camera phone girl, so there is still ALOT I'm figuring out. I'm a bit beside myself with happiness, though :o. I was playing with it in the yard today, and I have a question about something I'm finding in a few of my photos. I'm getting a 'halo' effect around background objects when I use larger apertures, and I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong or a normal part of working with the depth of field. This was shot handheld in RAW format using a 35mm 1.8G lens. Aperture is 4.5, shutter speed 800, ISO 1600. (Feel free to laugh at my high ISO, I was playing with it the night before and forgot to change it, haha. All part of the learning, I suppose.) I've not done any processing except to export it as a smaller jpeg for uploading. The halo I mention is particularly evident on the orange poppy just behind the main yellow one. I did see this on other photos without that high ISO, just none of them as obvious as this. Any ideas what is causing this and what I can do to avoid it? Thanks for the help! [/QUOTE]
