Here's a photo I shot the other evening with my 1D/EF 50 f1.4 combo set in manual mode, at f/1.8 - shutter speed 1/100, ISO400 with flash. A little pp through Aperture.

Nice shot. The focus seems to be on the cat's whiskers, with just a touch of softness on your wife. It also seems like you traded detail in the cat's fur for a bit of overexposure on your wife's face. It's probably tough to get both.

Oh, and great smile. Wish I could get my wife to smile like that.

All I want is a 10-2000 f/0.5L with no distortion that weighs 100 grams, fits in my pocket, and costs $300. Is that too much to ask?

Yeah... f/1.8 is pretty thin, if I had to do it over, I'd go f/4. I love the colors this lens can produce.

The composition of this photo is spot on if you ask me. Your sharing of this photo has definitely been a learning tool for me. I've known that f1.8 has a very narrow dof...I didn't realize how narrow though until this photo. I know know that to get a good group shot, not to use anything below f2.8 possibly even below f4! Thank you for sharing! ;)


Cheers,
LeBaron

Nice shot!

The focus is nice, and you did a great job capturing the cat (sometimes black colors are just too dark).


He still has one more move.
