This week’s challenge is all about using a large aperture, shooting wide opened. You can see some examples of this technique using shallow depth of field here.
Aperture is one side of the exposure triangle and understanding it, and truly mastering it is so important to taking your photography to the next level. This is your chance to practice.

Even if you do not have a lens that has f/1.4 or even f/2.8 you can still achieve a shallow depth of field. It also has to do with distance to subject, and focal length. So throw on a long lens and use the largest aperture you’ve got and just go do your best.
Here are a few examples using wide open apertures:

Simply upload your shot into the comment field (look for the little camera icon in the Disqus comments section) and they’ll get embedded for us all to see or if you’d prefer upload them to your favourite photo sharing site and leave the link to them. Show me your best images in this week’s challenge. Sometimes it takes a while for an image to appear so be patient and try not to post the same image twice.
