I'm rather proud of myself. . .my first "depth of field" shot using the AV Mode. Taken at f/2.8, shutter speed 1/160 sec, ISO 1600 and 28 mm. I had taken this photo with my 28 - 70mm lens and had the darnest time taking a good shot because of the dim lighting of the restaurant and my lens inability to focus at close range.
I tried taking the photo in auto - macro and the flash kept popping up. I wanted to see if I could take a similar photo using macro but was unable to do so without the flash. I didn't want the flash because it would reflect on the glass.
Taken at f/3.5, shutter speed 1/160, focal length 42 mm and ISO 1600. This one was taken with a closer shot. Thanks De of Bella Luna Photo Inspirations for the tutorials . . .she's my partner in crime. . .well, as far as learning photography that is! LOL!
I think I could have taken a better shot if I had used my 18 - 55mm lens. I read that wide angle lens work best with depth of field shots. I don't know. . .I'll test it out tomorrow. I was at a restaurant and I had my lens in the car and didn't want to be switching while eating lunch at a restaurant. LOL!!

Very "cool" shots! Now I was a pina colada! You could do a restaurant ad with these! Isn't learning photography fun?! I can see where it takes TONS and TONS of practice tho. Sigh. Wish I had more play time!
