hectordh: Since I don’t have macro lens, I used a zoom lens to get this effect. The longer your lens the shorter your depth of field. This was done with my 28-80mm lens zoomed to 80mm. With that zoom, the f5.6 worked just fine. If I was at 28mm, I would need to adjust the aperture to f/3.3 instead to get a similar depth of field.
as everyone else have already noticed – that’s a really beautiful dof ]

Really cool shot.

I can not understand DOF yet, how could you do that with f/5.6 ?… I thought it was necessary a smaller f value (greater aperture)…
it will be great if you can give an advice about that

Thank you so much everyone!
