QUOTE(Rogesterada @ Mar 5 2009, 05:22 PM) bokeh can be done wif point n shoot as well since bokeh means blurred background,even small amount of blur is bokeh. It's the quality of bokeh u lookin at, Film SLR and DSLR have more capability of producing creamy nice bokeh.Easy,get one DSLR with a lens that have large aperture say f1.4 and wala,u get nice bokeh. 85mm 1.4 Nikkor....bokeh to die for...racuning myself to buy one but so broke  |

QUOTE(aquarius_pg @ Mar 17 2009, 03:48 PM) hi all,, just got myself a nikkor 50mm f/1.8,, anyone care to share some tips on how to get nice bokeh or maybe candid pic if possible.. thanks... IMHO one of the things to consider is how much definition u want. If u use that lens wide open at 1.8, ur depth of field could be too shallow. I find that sharpness and usability of DOF is slightly better around f2.8-4, which is where i tend to be shooting from. Here's a fun thing to do: switch to black & white, crank ISO to max and shoot some portraits. |

QUOTE(howshouse @ Mar 17 2009, 04:19 PM) for the 50mm, it really depends what you want to shoot... if it's close up of items, 1.8-2.8 is really great to achieve a shallow DOF and allow your subject to be in focus. However, for portraiture, i find that 2.8 onwards is just nice (depends on the lighting available and your ISO settings) I've just been blessed with a baby boy 2 weeks ago and the 50mm's all i've been using as it's very fast and can capture the 'cute' moments. you'd be surprised how many expressions a baby can make! great lens all around in all honesty- good price too. Congrats on your cahaya mata! Which 50mm lens are you using btw? |
