Yesterday I showed you a quick experiment in shallow depth of field. It was just a quick test as this pink rose flower shows more of a real world example of how effective this setting can be. There were a lot of flowers and other plants in the background of this photo,but using the trusty 50mm f/1.8 lens these distracting elements are blurred enough to not take your eye away from the focal point. This sharpness in the rose head also gives an almost 3D look to the photograph which I think is particularly effective in this example.
Taking only photographs – leaving only footprints
