Depth of Field

I have 3 different Canon lens 50mm f-1.8, 24-105mm f-4, 70-200mm f-2.8, and I ran an exercise to see what lens and f spot together would give me the shallowest depth of field Iwould likedto shot at. To keep it simple I shot each lens at the greatest focal length and at the smallest aperture.

50mm at f-1.8

105mm at f-4

200mm at f-2.8

After looking at the 3 images I realized that I really like the 24-105mm lens at 105mm at f-4 the best. I feel that with the 50mm at 1.8 the back ground is too defused and it's harder to recognize what's back there as well as you have to get really close to your subject to fill the frame, and for the 200mm at 2.8 the length of the lens gives you the same problem with back ground defusing as the 50mm and it keeps you to far from you subject and you are not able to make that connection as easy. With the 24-105mm I like how the lens length at 105mm and the f-stop at f-4 give you the right amount of defusing of the back ground and the length is also just right not too far from your subject or not to close to be in their personal space.

Multimedia history been written one status update or blog posting at a time.

Since I can remember most of what I have learner about history has been from journals, diaries, and letters from people's lives. For a while I thought that that way of keeping track of human life was gone and we would get our point in history from what would could find on Google. But now with multimedia the blog posting is taking the place of a diary entry, or status update taking the place of a journal entry, or a wall posting a mailed letter.

I'm not much of a writer, but first of all I would like to share events and experiences of my life with other people and second I would like to look back 10 years from now and look at a log of my life. Photography has become a great part of my life and now I look at the world in a whole new way; shape, color, expression, and the biggest part of it all light. With this blog I plan to share my photo life with you all, so keep an and eye out for my postings and enjoy day by day; shot by shot with me.
