Playing with Depth Of Field is one of the things a beginner should learn quick. Still it makes otherwise no reason to leave the P-Mode for the M-Mode.
Playing with DOF when you shoot portraits is a good option, you can make the – sometimes disturbing – background disappear. The pic above is an extreme use of the DOF. I shot with a 50mm and used a f1,8 aperture which is a very large one. And you see: I focused on the eye and the rest get blurred. You have to experiment and play with these effects until you almost can predict the results.
More to come…
