Should both eyes be focused in a portrait? Thank you. It's always nice to lean towards the "it's my piece of art". It really is - in all ways. I take photos for my own sake, not for everyone else. I was just wondering if this was "not recommended - by the book"... |

Should both eyes be focused in a portrait? The question I ask myself at the end of the day is: "Is that a nice effect or is it all wrong (and not "by the book")...?" |

Should both eyes be focused in a portrait? Thank you for these suggestions. I know (deep inside) that I don't have to use 1.4, but as I mentioned elsewhere: I kinda tend to lean towards the extremes since I don't have enough experience/knowledge about the relative DoF in various situation (focal length/distance/aperture). I also experience that 1.4 gives the photography that extra shallow DoF you wont get with "regular kit lenses", so I like to experiment with those settings (below f2.8) when I have that fixed 50mm attach. And as I shoot various stuff (eg. in a market place), a potentially nice "kid portrait motive" appears... |

Should both eyes be focused in a portrait? Thank you very much for the additional DoF info. As a hobby photographer I only know the concepts very well (I think), but I have never studied the details and actual effects of the various combinations of focal length, distance to subject and aperture... (Thus I often go for the extremes: "I really want a shallow DoF, so I'll just use A-priority at f1.4" - even if that might be unnecessary in many situations.) |

Should both eyes be focused in a portrait? Yes. It's a candid photo. Most of my photos are... This is probably taken in a Spanish market place while I'm trying not to loose any of my other kids :-) |

Should both eyes be focused in a portrait? @Michael: Yeah. It's a photo for the wallet when we grow old, not a photo for the wall in the living room... You'll just have to look beyond that goo for the sake of the essence in the question ;-) Thanks for mentioning that the unfocused eye is not distracting. |
