In a shorter post today, I decided to add a few shots I took with the nifty 50mm f/1.4. this little bugger can produce a ridiculously shallow depth of field, if desired. I decided to see what I could come up with on this trip. I found that sometimes having too shallow a depth of field can actually be confusing to the viewer...and I think the Image of Liz holding the cupcake is just about to this brink. Its sometimes hard to strike the balance of background blur, while at the same time maintaining it in a recognizable form. This technique is a bit flashy, and artsy, but sometimes it can produce interesting, and unique photos such as Liz's display of only the finest in British bath soaps, the supple sounding "Imperial Leather."

Poor Liz. Vacations have devolved into constantly holding items at arms length.
