These were taken during my first use of the lens, Flo, when I was still in my the-less-DOF-the-better mode. It's hard for me to get out of that mindset, but hopefully I'll get there.

The macro f/stop to get the effect you want depends on how close you are, how large the subject is in relation to your distance and how much blur you want in the whole scene.
So whenever possible, shoot the same subject at different f/stops - then you'll see how they make a difference.

| August 12, 2009 @ 11:08am | Yeah, that's my new technique! 
Unfortunately, I don't have a tripod yet, so keeping the same distance to the subject and checking the screen for results is pretty difficult at the moment.

DON'T check that screen between changes! Just keep changing the aperture and keep shooting! Look at the results after you've run through your sequence of f/stops!
