Although I found this pencil case lying on the table, it wasn't my first attempt to take a shallow DOF photo. I continued to have problems with taking the photos, whether it was that I couldn't change the focus of the object having either everything being blurred or nothing. Also all of my previous photos didn't include people in the background which you can see further allows the shallow differential focus to focus on the pencil case and ignore the people. I could of taken mo...
