Hi all,
This is my first post here so hope I'm doing it correctly!
I've recently started shooting with my Intrepid 4x5 with a Schneider - Kreuznach Xenar f4.5 150mm lens, and some of the results I'm getting I'm happy with, and others I'm not.
I'm trying to achieve a look like this: Wide and Shallow
So far I haven't had much luck achieving this look.
The above image is shot on 4x5 film, could anybody help me and inform me whether this shot has used any movements or not to get that shallowness? The leaves that are in focus on the top left throw me a bit, I'm not sure whether they are in focus because of movements or they just happen to be on the same plane of focus as the subject.
And if no movements have been used, does anybody know what type of lens this is? How fast would it have to be in order to cut him off from the background that quickly?
Many Thanks!
