I had just purchased my first full frame camera, the Canon 5D, back in the spring of 2008 so I put on a canon EF 24mm F2,8 lens and went to the Queens Botanical garden. This is a lesson of sorts. Although I was using a very wide lens, the fact that I was so close to the subject and was shooting at F4, I was able to throw the background out of focus. Also, the full frame helped. A smaller frame camera would have increased the depth of field making this effect more difficult to achieve. I just love these two Images and they
sold me on the 5D that I still have.
Greetings, this blog is dedicated to my life in photography and my passion for good Italian food.. I want to make this a place to stop and relax. In the hope that this will provide some respite and peace. Thank you for visiting.
