Super Shallow DOF

[Phil Holland]

I should add some additional aperture examples just to show them as well.

f/2.8

f/5.6

Now back to making my lunch.

Great examples, Phil. Love your breakdown. Exactly right. Telephotos COMPRESS the image, make it flatter, places background objects CLOSER to the foreground, and augments the SIZE of the bokeh. Where wide-angles EXPAND THE IMAGE, make background elements look like they are receding further back from the foreground, and the bokeh gets smaller.

They "feel" different. Even if the frames are "similar".

I kinda feel like everyone needs an extreme wide and extreme tele in their kit.
