  1. 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

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

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

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

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

  8. 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.

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