Just a few random practice shots...
Tuesday
I've got DOP!
...depth of field that is...I just received my new 50 mm lens yesterday and I'm pleased to announce that I'm very satisfied with it except that I have to manually focus as my camera doesn't have a motor etc. So I practiced focusing manually which I'll have to get used to, but I think I can live with it until I can upgrade my camera. It's got better depth of field than my other lens' with an aperture of 1.8.

Don't you just love it!? I am absolutely in love with my 50 mil! It takes such great shots, and I love the amount of bokeh I can get in my pics now. LOVE it!
Very cool pics. (Sorry, you do not know my but I randomly fell upon your blog). I have always loved the "DOP" pics, but my question is, do you have to have a special lens to do these kind of pics then? I would love to hear from an "expert"!
Hi Keeley! I can't say that I'm an expert, but I'll give it a go. ;)
You don't need a special lens to show depth of field. Point and shoot cameras now a days have the function of choosing a focal point in a scene. obviously everywhere else not in the focal point would show DOP...but that leads to 3 key factors that lead to how much or extensive the DOP is. 1.Aperture 2.focal length 3.The distance of the subject from the camera.
-this is where a "specialty" lens comes in. If you want a more extensive/dramatic DOP, you would need a lens with a small aperture.
In keeping me from writing a huge, long post, I can direct you to a web page that goes into more detail about this subject. http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/depth-of-field.htm
Hope this helps!
Thanks so much, I am going to give it a try today! :)
