Day One Hundred Seventy Seven
Received a number of emails about my selection of aperture. Most often I'm asked if I find it difficult keeping things in focus at such a shallow depth of field.
Keeping the subject in focus at that aperture isn't all that difficult once you become aware of where things fall in and out of focus. At ƒ/1.2 there's just enough wiggle room for you to do your thing. And when you're shooting self portraits at that aperture every millimeter counts.
I also tend to focus manually as well. While autofocus is awesome, sometime an eyeball is just to small of a target for the camera to figure out.
About the photo: Every time I turn aroud The Girl is always up to something.
Also season 4 of The IT Crowd just started and new season of Top Gear airs tomorrow.
