Stunning, outstanding dof and point of view. Nice one.

I agree; great depth of field. As is is 2.8 it may be straight out of the camera, but just wondering if the DOF is enhanced in the post processing of it as well? I don't have anything that will go to 2.8, so I am also jealous. :-)

@Bonj: Hey Bonj, thanks for the comment! No, the DOF is not enhanced in any way whatsoever. The only manipulation was soft light layer and contrast adjustment. Oh, and I resized and sharpened for web. I actually have a 50 mm lens that goes to 1.8! Gotta love those shallow DOF! Also, remember the DOF depends on the focal length of the lens and the distance from the camera to the subject, so it is just more than the aperture! Hugs...

Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom

Yes, these wide apertures work a wonderful magic I have a 180mm f/2.8 that I would use more often if it were not so heavy !

Thanks and the teacher/tutor is showing. :-) Definitely a good thing, especially with this topic. I still need to find a place in my brain to upload all of the photo info I can find and put a Google Search Engine on it, so I can quickly retrieve all of it. Who knows "Google Brain" might be their next product, but not sure where I'll find the memory upgrade.
