day 119 - shallow dof



one problem with using a shallow depth of field is that it's difficult to nail down what you want in focus. especially really close up, that depth of field gets really narrow. add to the mix the idea of autofocusing with the camera on a tripod and using a remote shutter control..... it's near impossible to get your focus correct.

but i tried anyways. at f1.8, on a tripod, with autofocus. it came out allright. i actually moved the camera far away from me, and then cropped in tight, that way my dof was wider, and i had a bit more leeway with what is in focus and what is not in focus.
