Lovely shots. Do you think such photo can be taken using a point and shoot?
Thanks! You really need an SLR and a fast lens to get shots like these out of the camera, but you might be able to simulate the shallow depth of field in Photoshop. These photos were taken with a Canon 1Ds Mark II and 85mm f1.2 lens set to f1.6.
Thanks for replying. I was going on in a discussion on Flickr where I argued great photos in terms of color quality, depth of field, details and so on cannot be taken with a point-and-shoot. I know one can always get a good composition in a point-and-shoot, but photos like these, not possible (you really need extensive knowledge over photoshop otherwise).
The others argued that I was wrong. But I know I wasn’t. A point-and-shoot can never replace a DSLR. Otherwise DSLRs would have been gone, right? :D
Beautiful Lighting .
Lot of bokah!
With a full frame sensor, fast lens, and reflector on a sunny day, you can’t go wrong :)
