I took several pictures at 2.8 to get a shallow depth of field, but then I realized I needed a bit more depth of field to add some interest to the background. At 2.8 the background branches completely disappeared even though I had purposely lined up a shot with other branches in the background. of this hawthorn tree. At f13 with a macro lens and the separation of subject from background I got the effect I was looking for. #shallowdepthoffield #52frames_shallowdepthoffield #sonya7riv #sony90mm #hawthorntree #spikes #thorns #macro
