This is a crop from a portrait I shot with a Fuji 56mm f1.2 at

To have an out of focus background you fucking sperg

Plus nobody cares if the nose is out of focus, as long as the eyes and mouth are in focus, it will look fine

Also stop pixel peeping things nobody looks at in a portrait

>dof post
>doesn't include full shot or distance info
FF fans do make too big of a deal out of FF DoF. But it is actually useful in some shooting situations. It's probably most useful when using f/2.8 zooms at an event (i.e. wedding) and shooting further back than head or head+shoulders.

Sure you weren't too close, even for that FL?

>>3116769
The more far away from your subject, the less shallow the DOF of your subject towards its background is going to be at wider apertures.
>Who shoots these wide open?
Fags who can't into framing so they have to blur the background.

people love that blurred background look though, it is what post non-photogs see a what a "professional" photo looks like

most of them give no shits about composition

sad but true

If it's so sharp then step back and then crop in the equiv as before... 2 or 3 steps back will make the whole face in the plane

Big lens is big and pretty. Bokeh makes up for incompetence. Or maybe it doesn't, but at least it can be had for cash morney.

>>3116827
Its just the popularization of fast lenses.

How much a 2.8 tele or a 1.4 prime costed in the day?

>>3116769
Use an 80 or 100 mm lens.

>nobody cares if the nose is out of focus

even amateurs notice it, so it's does stand out and isn't desirable in certain genres

>>3116769
>the 56mm is that soft wide open

top kek, fuji

top fucking kek

>>3116769
depth of field increases as the distance from the subject does

if your subject was a couple meters further away from you the entire face would be on the same plane of focus

lrn 2 basic photography my man
