Being forced to shoot with the lens wide open (or almost – this was at f/2) when using the crop 35mm lens in order to avoid heavy vignetting means that objects are thrown into pleasing relief with the drop-off in depth of field. It’s not massively pronounced when the subject is further away, but still there, as with this photo of a cruiser moored at Victoria Quays with the straddle warehouse in the background.
Is this a cruiser?
I had to Google in case
I had got it wrong!
