These were taken in deep shade almost in the dark. I was wondering if I could have gotten him without such a low f/stop? DOF is more shallow than I would like on the head on shot...
When I tried going higher, I kept blowing and he was getting impatient. Rather than loose him completely, I just opened up. I loathe tripods so I can't use a slow enough speed I can't handhold. I prefer no flash (plus I knew it would startle him more than I already had). Suggestions?
