cela rend vraiment très bien, j'aime bien ce flou autour de la chaine. f1.8, une très belle ouverture
it is really productive very well, I like this fuzziness well around the chaine. F1.8, a very nice opening

The green really makes this as a backdrop it is surprising and so eye cathcing.

No dusty lens here! (I have no ideas about camera settings, work only with "automatic"!)

Wow!
f1.8. Still on my wish list...

I love to shoot wide open...love this.

I'm not wild about green kayaks, but it makes a nice background color. :) Great Photo!

A fantastic close-up. The green background really makes it stand out. I envy you an f1.8 lense!

That's a great shot. I find I have to shoot at 2.0 or 2.2 to really get a clean shot. I am probably need quite a bit more experience to shoot with that shallow of a depth of field.

I hear the 1.4 is amazing to work with. I would love to get one at some point.... but have spent WAY too much money since diving into this hobby as it is. I will need to wait for a bit for that.

Looking pretty on green.

This could symbolize so many things.

I'm going to lock you up if you don't stop showing off than darn lens of yours! Either that or trade in my f1.8...

Well DL, I'm back! I'm missing a lot of things about Paris as you can imagine. One thing I DID miss was visiting my blog friends. Look what you had for me today. FAB DOF here. WHoo eee!

I missed you in Paris. Where were you and Mrs. DL???

Great depth of field. I like the green background to offset the metal and red in the chain and lock.
