My cousin's engagement party

Adrian Wong · 6th May 2008, 12:59 AM

My cousin, Dax, got engaged to his long-time girlfriend. Congratulations to Dax and Siao Chze!

We all went to celebrate it at his official engagement party in Shah Alam yesterday. Here are some pictures I took of the couple, our cousins, their friends, etc.

Almost all the photos were taken using a Nikon D300 with a Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens. Aperture was set to f/1.8.

You should use f2.8 or smaller. These lenses are very good when stopped down.

Yeah, I will try that. Was trying to get a good bokeh under low light conditions (no flash) at f/1.8. Must see if f/2.8 yields better results.

Many of your pics are out of focus due to shallow DOF.

Actually, I intentionally utilized the shallow DOF to focus on a subject while leaving the rest blurred.

Only the last picture was a mistake. I forgot to turn on the D300's auto-focus. I set it to focus on the center pip, so it ended up focusing on the food behind.
