wide and close

I really like this setting. On a wide lens (17mm - a prime lens and manual) I set the focus to a minimum (15 cm) and aperture at 2. I move the lens so that the object is sharp and the rest with the background. Of course, I also change the aperture, but in this case the effect for 2 was the most interesting.

Very creamy. Similar process to what I use, my cameras do not focus very closely and are manual so I have to just move back enough to get the spot I want in focus. It's challenging. Well done....
