Nice pic Nathan.
Certain things cannot be computer emulated. Shallow focus for one. Yeah, you can copy a layer, apply a blur to the top one and use a layer mask. But the problem, of course, is where they blend, you get a diffusion effect. At least for now if you want shallow focus, you got to shoot it. (assuming the foreground and background tie together somehow)
The other thing is sharp focus. It's another thing you cannot fix. Yeah, there's unsharp mask and such, but if its out.....it's out.
I always say on a job, "I can fix anything, but out of focus". Now that I'm getting up in years and don't trust my eyes, I try to make sure someone opens the image in Pshop to check focus.
Hope you're having fun w/ the 210. Man, I miss shooting view cam.
