Shooting at an aperture of 1.4 allows for a very shallow depth of field. It can give your pictures a very unique look. It will also allow you to shoot in very low light. Here is a recent picture taken of the grill of an old GMC truck. The only part of the picture that is in focus is about 1/3 of the “G”.
I was in Madison Wisconsin this weekend to see my sister and nephew. I had some opportunity to take some shots with my NEX 7. I’m still very happy with it’s results. I think its auto white balance is better than my Leica M9.
This shot is a close-up of an organ’s keys. I really liked the texture of the keys and thought a close-up would work well. I set my f-stop to 1.8 so that I could get some depth of field. I think it turned out well. The “bokeh” is good but in my opinion it’s not as smooth as my Leica lenses.

I spent almost 4 years of my life in Des Moines, IA going to school. Twice a year I head back to my old school and each time I spend some time wandering around downtown. It’s not even comparable to Chicago or New York but they have a very nice and beautiful downtown.
A couple of years ago as I was walking around, I noticed that there were a bunch of bike racks with bikes to rent. Since I don’t live there I’m unsure how often they are used but I think it’s a good idea.
