The only problem is that the depth of field becomes so so so narrow, so you'd likely have to stop down quite a bit unless you only want the tip of whatever you're shooting to be in focus. Also your maximum focusing distance becomes a lot shorter so if you have the filter on and want to shoot far away, no can do!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335150182845238083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2036420478669555429.post-69928558565474427482011-06-03T10:36:46.130-04:002011-06-03T10:36:46.130-04:00I must confess, I love a shallow depth of field.

My favourite shot is the one with the little barn on the wagon with birds along the top.<br />It's funny how after admiring another one's work it influences your own to change your focus (pun intended) but I'm sure there are people who love your work the way it is (like me!) and I'm sure people look at your work who wish they photographed more like you. Either way, I look forward to your next post as always!<br /><br />:)<br /><br />KKaryn McKinnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444134683201056521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2036420478669555429.post-1042858139935410522011-06-03T02:36:34.363-04:002011-06-03T02:36:34.363-04:00I actually quite like the colours here, they seem ...I actually quite like the colours here, they seem quite naturalistic, perhaps the very slight green cast is a good thing!<br />I recently made a similar post about how I always shoot wide, and always with a 50mm and so I experimented with using a 30mm lens and not allowing myself to stop up wider than f8. It's always a good thing to explore and experiment because it helps you refine your style, or perhaps feel more confident about what you have been doing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00294031837043482355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2036420478669555429.post-71887432504306982792011-06-03T02:33:39.131-04:002011-06-03T02:33:39.131-04:00Sure, there's a lot of green, but these are re...Sure, there's a lot of green, but these are really great. I'm a big fan of the window shot (surprising, I know, given my last post), and the table shot. <br /><br />Stepping away from bokeh is hard. I've been trying to with my food shots, but sometimes, it's so hard. I really have to force myself to shoot at f4 sometimes.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01897922378768317803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2036420478669555429.post-11612392594178937922011-06-03T00:49:03.133-04:002011-06-03T00:49:03.133-04:00I like the green cast of the film, it fits very we...I like the green cast of the film, it fits very well with the theme - nature, land, farm.Kristinhttp://www.liandbelle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2036420478669555429.post-28960089942924214272011-06-02T23:32:38.662-04:002011-06-02T23:32:38.662-04:00Still very nice, Alice.

I tend to shoot either wide-open or stopped-down; my discomfort zone is f/8, of all things.<br /><br />Have fun in your explorations!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363796928846400975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2036420478669555429.post-72554392290435138502011-06-02T23:01:43.938-04:002011-06-02T23:01:43.938-04:00I don't know about you but I'm really enjo...I don't know about you but I'm really enjoying these photos!

We should start a Bokeholics Anonymous to give the proper support we all so desperately need. :P<br /><br />I know what you mean about the image that relies on light and comp only - even though I've never seen the one you're talking about specifically, I see photos that give that spark in me every day and for some reason I just doubt my ability to pull off such a shot. Famous last words of a bokeholic. <br /><br />Maybe a new Flickr group is in order?
