I love this theme. I'm a big fan of shallow DOF. I run my camera in aperture priority 99 percent of the time. I'm going to post some of my photos from this theme here over the next few days.
This is the photo I used for Day 6 of my 365 project. I set the bells in the back of the frame for a nice bokeh effect. Using my 50mm lens wide open at f/1.8 gives me a very shallow DOF and the bells are just barely recognizalbe.
50mm, ISO 400, f/1.8 for 1/60 sec.
In this photo of my daughter, who cracked her wrist and has to have a bath in the kitchen sink so we can keep her cast dry, I have used the same technique as the above photo. I love to run a lens wide open and throw as much of the photo out of focus as I can.
50mm, ISO 400, f/1.8 for 1/160 sec.
Of course you don't have to put the focus point on the front of the photo. In this photo, I've moved the focus point to my daughter's head which put her arm at the bottom of the frame out of focus.
50mm. ISO 400, f/1.8 for 1/80 sec.
