the thing i’m most jealous of in that shot is that it’s clearly a f/1.4 or even 1.2 lens which is like a giant sheet of glass, to get that shallow a depth of field, and I’m like, rolling around in agonies of jealousy here
That is a point. Does everyone look amazingly good at low depth of field, I wonder? Flowers tend to. Perhaps people are like flowers.
sigh. no. not everyone looks amazing. it turns out it’s really hard to use a lens like that.
not that i’ve had that much practice.
more than many people, though. i do work in a camera store. i used to play with the expensive merchandise and get excited about it back when i had human emotions.
