		<description>Thanks for the tips everyone! Thanks Mera! I will try and try again. I need to get you here to Highland Park (Illinois) for a workshop! If I can't make that happen then please tell me you are going to have a workshop somewhere in the midwest. I am still gunning for the Chicago area though!!!</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I'm so glad you all liked this post!  It's 6:30pm, and I'm just now looking at the blog.  What great news to here that the tips where helpful!  Wait till you see Carey's tips tomorrow!  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kelli, the frustration you're running into with not being able to go lower that an fstop of 4 is something we talk a lot about in the workshops.  It's very frustrating for many b/c the lense says it will go lower, but it won't unless you shoot your image as a wider angle type shot (lots in the frame), and then it doesn't matter if you have a low fstop b/c there is too much in the image.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You want the low fstop when you're getting in close to your subject.  If your lense that came with your camera says it ranges from 3.5-4.5, this means the wider you are it will go down to 3.5 and the closer you zoom in...well, it will ONLY go to 4.5. Frustrating, I know.  So much I could say here, but we need half a day!!!  :)  Hope this little bit helps though!
&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>Thank you so much for this post.  I have been VERY frustrated with trying to get good photos of the tree.  I just got my camera so I am still trying to learn, :-)

Thanks again!</description>

		<description>Oops, I assumed you shoot canon! 
Silly me ;)

Nikon also has a 50mm f/1.8D AF for a little more expensive at about $120</description>

		<description>Denise, 

The Canon EF 50mm goes to 1.8 at the low low cost of approx $75. It's a set 50mm but is a great cheap lens!</description>
