Wouter, it is indeed a ...Thanks for your comments!<br /><br />Wouter, it is indeed a bit dark and I was not sure if I should lift the shadows up a bit but decided it worked quite well.<br /><br />James, I do like to photography police and security as it's fun and makes for a nice challenge if you don't want to be noticed and branded a terrorist. ;)<br /><br />The GRD III can control the DOF a bit better than the previous GRDs but if you are close enough and have a little bit of zoom (60-85mm) and a fairly bright aperture you can get similar results. With small sensor cameras it's all about getting close to the subject.<br />As you I think the shallow DOF craze is getting a bit out of hand and a lot of people would need more DOF in their pictures. I like having a big DOF when you use fast lenses as this allows to really utilize fast lenses in low light, with a fullframe sensor these lenses are wasted in my opinion.<br /><br />Will, the shake in the background is created by movement due to the slow shutterspeed of 1/50 and not by camera shake. The out-of focus areas are all due to shallow DOF here. I was close enough to get this although you are right that to really control the DOF on a small sensor you need a f1.2 lens.Cristianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03693596598258611350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630829423345055973.post-83764813605059829822009-08-13T15:53:10.891+01:002009-08-13T15:53:10.891+01:00I see a bit of shake in the background, so not all...I see a bit of shake in the background, so not all of the out-of-focus area is caused by the shallow DoF. <br /><br />And I respectfully offer a different opinion, with the sensor that small (still smaller than the Panasonic LX3 ,which has an f/2.0 max aperture), you need to get down to 1.4 or 1.2 to get a *really* impressive DoF control.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419351407583020610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630829423345055973.post-55140788235954985252009-08-13T15:52:42.045+01:002009-08-13T15:52:42.045+01:00to continue from above: frankly i am least interes...to continue from above: frankly i am least interested in the bokehmania craze sweeping the photo forums. but welcome the change from the flat everything sharp small sensor aesthetics. very promising. but again to repeat myslef: some may argue grd2 lx3 or g10 are perfectly capable of doing the same...interested to hear more on that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630829423345055973.post-67594312210419823992009-08-13T15:46:03.569+01:002009-08-13T15:46:03.569+01:00This is impressive. not aware of similar OoF achie...This is impressive. not aware of similar OoF achieved with small sensors-and it may be that i am not familiar with all the models out there. the lx3 or g10 may as well be as capable. i would like to know how unique grd3 is on this regard-but this can easily mistaken out of a 4-3rd camera...or?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630829423345055973.post-55374991374140972272009-08-13T06:05:47.920+01:002009-08-13T06:05:47.920+01:00Very impressive as Wouter has said.

I had not expected that.<br /><br />With regard to the photograph I really like the composition (maybe a bit dark), and I sure like the fact that you were able to photograph the security guy :DWouter Brandsmahttp://wouter28mm.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
