[QUOTE="tjsimonsen, post: 1512488, member: 38764"] Obviously it helps to be closer to the subject. If the distance from subject to BG is say 5m, and you are 5m from the subject, the relative distance between the subject and BG is greater than if you were 15m from the subject. Plus you get a much smaller portion of BG in the first picture. However, I agree that the distance from the subject to BG is probably more important. cab1024, I'm sorry it took me some time to get back to this. My 1-4L can produce fairly harsh background in strongly lit situations as well, especially in back lit situations. But the aperture means a lot too. This was shot w/ f10 (the camera was accidentally on auto mode): [url]http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/193563/ppuser/38764[/url] While this was shot with f6.3: [url]http://www.birdforum.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/195514/ppuser/38764[/url] The birds were on the same locality, and in almost exactly the same spot, certainly same distance to BG. Only on different days. Thomas [/QUOTE]
