I found your comment about the DOF interesting. I took this photo with my 50mm lens and at f/16, which is the limit for this lens. Oh well.

Doesn't appeal to me much though.

Posted: Thu May 25, 2006 10:23 amHi Doug,
in regards to DOF, more to do as to how close you were to the cup, see:
http://www.dofmaster.com/doftable.html
You will see that a 50mm at f/16 on a D70s at a focus distance of 50cm, the DOF in about 5cm, so pretty shallow, gets more shallow as you get closer.
As for your cup, it still comes out nice and clean,
cheers,
André

Posted: Thu May 25, 2006 10:33 amThanks Radar. I was close because I wanted to fill the frame, and as you know the 50mm has a fixed focal length. For more DOF, I should have used a different lens. I quite like the DOF in this image, but I am interested in differing opinions, and I certainly take them on board.
