Experimentation

More experimenting with the tilt shift lens. I love it when the effect works! These were both shot at 24mm f4.5 1/400 ISO 100. I don't think a normal lens would produce such nice bokeh at f4.5. Unfortunately this lens is manual focus and it's very difficult for me to find a sharp focus. Especially when I'm shooting wiggly kids. Most of my pictures are turning out blurry. Hopefully with some time I will develop the skills needed to use manual focus acurately 100% of the time. A laser focusing screen would probably help too. :)

These kids are such characters. Oh how I love them.

I have a really hard time with manual focus too, especially with little ones :)

The last sentence in this post is the only one that I understood, but I like it anyway.

Thats one of the few things I'd want a more complicated camera (read, interchangeable lenses) for: being able to get bokeh.

It's all dutch to me, but I'm glad you're having fun. Hope you can do what you want to do soon.
