i know you all like to get boners over depth of field, but its alot better when you use it correctly (not to downplay your pictures james, this is just a general comment)
there really isnt anything special about getting really close to an object and adjusting the focus, so i dont know why you all think its so special.
its really just to single out the focus of the picture when you have a full frame shot, not a 3 inch area on the ground.
your drawn to the kids in front, not the mountains in the back... see what i mean?
