Guys,
Bought a 50mm f.1.8 II to go with my Canon 7D mark I this week, and took it out this morning to take some photos of my girlfriends dogs.
Not sure if this is purely down to my focusing, or just getting used to the lens, but as you can see in this photo below, the dogs nose is nicely in focus, however his ears are not. Can anyone advise me which settings I should have a play around with so that his entire face is nice and sharp, but the background is blurred?
Both photos were taken at f2.2, should I have maybe used f2.8 or above? I want to keep the 'bokeh' style background, but want all of his face and ears in focus.
Many thanks!
