This does not mean I always use the biggest aperture for portraits. This is explained in the blog post. You use the aperture to create the focus that you want. Hope this clarifies.Jill Wellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329583413637702676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180752096876925074.post-47469840254550220362015-12-01T05:19:09.934-08:002015-12-01T05:19:09.934-08:00Thanks for such a speedy response!
Now question ag...Thanks for such a speedy response!<br />Now question again, if you prefer that, does that mean your portrait shots are always going to be "one eye of the subject out of focus because such a narrow range"? I might be reading the article wrong, but doesn't that just have a small "window" for focus ability?Kyllahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05861925896064524814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180752096876925074.post-52204825753965683702015-12-01T05:07:09.493-08:002015-12-01T05:07:09.493-08:00Hi Kylla, Thanks for your kind comments! I have...Hi Kylla, Thanks for your kind comments! I have never tried the Canon EF 40mm f2.8 lens. My favorite and go-to portrait lens is the nifty fifty mm 1.4 lens! I like to be up close to interact...especially with children. The 85mm is better with compression and background bokeh...but I don't like having to be far away while shooting. It's all what works best for the photographer and what they are trying to accomplish.Jill Wellingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329583413637702676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180752096876925074.post-78971039390025020372015-11-30T23:38:11.367-08:002015-11-30T23:38:11.367-08:00This is a wonderful guide to newbies, like myself....This is a wonderful guide to newbies, like myself. <br />Now the biggest debate I see on forums for people like myself is with the Canon model style lenses... is the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 ll Lens more useful for portrait photography than the Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM lens?<br />I'm still learning the ropes and the new lingo, but an answer to this question would be much appreciated. Also, thanks for make such easy to understand guides for us blonds, haha!Kyllahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05861925896064524814noreply@blogger.com
