I'm experimenting using selective focus using a wide apertures. I've found it very interesting. Am thinking of getting a wide prime lens with big aperture to do more people shots. I found it takes a bit of practice to get the focus right. I'm using a zoom fully wide open at 2.8 for now but think a bigger aperture prime might be better.
I have taken some pics of a musical group that just happened to be walking along the esplanade at penzance the other day. It was late in the day but still seemed to work Not all that easy to focus especially when walking backwards.
pics seemed ok after i took out a bit of camera noise.
I'm definitely going to persevere with the 'selective focus' idea as i now think it has merit.
I've put some pics in the gallery here, though i do wonder if anyone looks there. Used 'selective' 'focus' as keywords to look them up.
Anyone specializing in 'selective focus' pics? And what lenses are you using?
I'm mainly interested in isolating people for this, although it could be useful for other stuff.
Anyone with any insight /ideas on selective focus and on what occasions are you doing it ? .... be interested to hear from you ... jim t
