DoF and Bokeh pt 2
using my Canon EOS 400D and 50mm f/1.8 lens shooting some of the objects on my table in different arrangements

These three shots (f/1.8 at 1/30 ISO 200) show the effect of a different focal point. The first one focuses on the white mug, the second one on the steel mug and the last one on the red teapot.

Part of the teapot (f/1.8 at 1/500 ISO 800) and part of the steel mug (f/1.8 at 1/320 and -0,7 EV ISO 200), with bokeh background, both cropped in a square format.

The first shot focuses on the handle of the steel mug, the second shot focuses on the front side of the box of tissues. (both f/1.8 at 1/60 ISO 400)

Here is a close-up of the tissue and the top of the box. The upward sweep of the tissue is continued by the straight vertical line in the bokeh background. The horizontal line of the box is continued by the top of a canon-lens in the right corner. (f/1.8 at 1/60 ISO 200)

This is an oval cookie tin without the lid on. The cookies are obscured by the shadows. I focused on the outer back rim, where the light is making a diagonal line that is repeated on the right side of the image in the bokeh background. (f/1.8 at 1/400 ISO 200)
