how the hell do you do that? I mean at least the lens I have goes down to f/22 as narrowest

You get a decent lens Strange that yours only goes p to f22, the kit lens that came with my D50 goes up to f27.

oh I think it goes down to f/22 only at the shortest focal length which is 17mm and I believe at the maximum focal length, 85mm it would go all the way down to f/32... so I guess to achieve an aperture that narrow I would have to use the maximum focal length

Which is fine, although even f22 should give you a more than adequate depth of field.

ahh now I get it! lol I mean you use wide aperture to create strong background blur and very narrow to achieve the opposite effect lol that's so obvious
Thanks!

I knew there was a way! But my camera doesn't go that high - lmao. Hmm. Didn't check my wide angle lens though, to see if it can go that high. But I highly doubt it. What kind of lens do you get? Just any that can go that high? I shall have to try this next time hehe.



Haha yeah I can imagine, and Alaska it's hell of a lot more beautiful, I'd love to travel there sometime. They have nice cruise ships you can go on don't they?



Yeah, that's when I took these! Was the same day you saw it, haha. Funny ^^

Just try whatever the highest f-stop is, f32 shouldn't be neccesary.

I shall try Thanks for pointing that out, ya learn something new everyday I guess haha. Something so simple, too

Edit: Whoa! Just checked my 28-80mm lens, it goes to F29 LOL.! and my wide angle goes to F22. Cool

I just checked Dpreview and it says that your Sigma 10-20 has a minimum aperture of f/22 so it can't get narrower than that
I think those zoom lenses with long focal length (probably 50mm or higher) can get up to f/32 but I could be wrong though

Heh, take a photo and see how it works out.
