I remember that a couple of shots were done at 2.8, by force of habit (I know the lighting at the kitchen table is 1/60 @ 2.8 so I don't even meter anymore, I just set the camera and take a shot). I'm slightly further back than I was with the shot of my wife, but I'm sure that small increase of distance would have that much effect. The one of my wife I know is 1.4 because I had trouble focussing on her eyes (glasses kept getting in the way). But my daughter shot ... it might have been one of those habit things. Thanks for noticing. Daniel Scott McLoughlin wrote: > You know, the DOF on the first shot looks pretty generous > for an f1.4 shot. Compare to your second shot.
