It’s not always obvious. I shot a wedding two weeks ago and added blur where there wasn’t any to get a great DOF and it’s not obvious *at all*. Several of my photo-geek friends were exciting about the DOF and asked how I got my wide lens to behave so well. 😉

Just start drawing lines between the fingers… some of the ones closer are blurry and some aren’t and some far away, same idea… it’s an odd effect. I’m actually leaning more towards photoshop than the zoom effect now.

@...dieAntagonista: Don’t be jealous. Shooting weddings is hard work… really hard work. And this wedding was about as unideal as they get. It was rainy… the sun was down by the time the ceremony started and the reception location was very dark with large beams overhead that blocked the bounce. I have so many hours of tweaking RAW files ahead of me.

I’m still learning the ins and outs of Photoshop in regards to digital photography… mostly the darkroom work.

Maybe you can tell me why my photos are so desaturated once I save them. I can understand some loss when saving to JPG but the color loss is HUGE. I’ve tried adjusting my profile settings to the suggested but it doesn’t change anything. I end up pushing the saturation via adjustment layer for the jpg and just getting rid of the adjustment layer after I’ve saved the jpg. My biggest complaint is a lot of the print places only take JPGs which means that the super beautiful RAW, PSD, TIFF files aren’t even useful… making that lost saturation an even bigger deal.
