03ShengDing04 depth

In a shopping mall, I used shallow depth of field to get rid of the chaotic background, and I accidentally created this dramatic effect.

I normally wouldn't set aperture lower than 4.0 for human portrait, even for shallow depth of field effect. However, the light in store is not sufficient as this photo shows (I adjust the exposure on my PC);

It was really challenging for me to hand hold and took the photo with 1/8 shutter speed, because I really hate the noise caused by high ISO, I tried my best.
