[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 306872, member: 24753"] [b]Eyelight Plays with Depth of Field[/b] Been too long away from creative photography and trying to refresh the old knowledge and learn about new equipment. Basic idea is to plan a shot, take the shot and learn. Plan was to make the toaster the subject and remove the bananas as subject by blurring them with the background. First shot missed. I had focused on the toaster, and then adjusted focus back slightly. Too much! [ATTACH=CONFIG]89197._xfImport[/ATTACH] Second shot was just fine. [ATTACH=CONFIG]89198._xfImport[/ATTACH] I learned that at 105mm and f4.5 the DOF is only 2.78" which is barely enough to keep the front of the toaster in focus and that a very small movement of the focusing ring moves the focal point more than I thought it would. I may add more posts as I fiddle with the new camera, lenses, etc. or anybody can add what they like. Writing this post, I thought of something else I need to explore. Keep it simple. Plan the shot, take the shot and learn. What did you learn today? [/QUOTE]
