I know – my last post was all at f1.4. Why didn’t I use that setting this time? Honestly, I just got a wild hair and decided to mix it up a bit. What do you think? I took these while escaping the rain with my lovely wife a couple days ago at a new coffee shop in DC’s Chinatown neighborhood.
I recently got a new fast lens and wanted to play around with it and noticed that a number of people on Flickr were doing something similar – shooting at 50mm at f1.4. If f-stops confuse you, that’s okay; I have a handy dandy tutorial on them. The shallow depth of field allows for selective focus and as a result some really neat imagery.
I walked around the Georgetown part of Washington, DC a couple days ago on my lunch break and shot these. Let me know what you think.
