[attachment=0:2lqjb10q]50mmlens.JPG[/attachment:2lqjb10q]I have the 50 mm lens. How does the dof indicator work and does it work only at f16?

It depends.

Are the events indoors or outdoors? Are the events ticketed? Does the ticket mention photography/video? Where would you be selling the images/video?

Outdoors. On street. Non tickets.

Is there a difference in law if it is being sold. I do not have a market but may want to seek one, want to know where i stand.

If i wanted to make a documentary and sell a dvd of it would it be legal given the performers will be on it?

I think it’s down to personal taste & it really depends on the subject matter.
I should elaborate a little. A small light source such as a flash or the sun on a clear day will produce a lot of contrast in a photo, while diffused light coming from a large light source such as the sun behind clouds will produce less contrast.
Lower contrast images of people tend to look nicer as there are no harsh shadows, whereas, images of buildings tend to look better with a higher degree of contrast.

Thanks. They are buildings he said to increase contrast in.

By the way, extremely odd link as an example of what you were hoping to illustrate. The web is full of shallow depth of field images, and was surprised to see the link you used to illustrate your original question.

it was the first one i came across that day.I was not looking for one to illustrate my question but when i saw it i just thought it would. Thanks for the input

Optically not the best of lenses, still stand by 50mm prime!

Do you mean in general or for this project. if in general what is wrong with the lens

I would like opinion on above lens. The widest aperture on the lens is 5.6 at 200mm. I want a zoom anyway and wondered how it would do for my street art project. It does not say minimum focus distance

That lens would be better as the widest aperture is 2.8, but for less money
you could get a 50mm 1.8 lens, can sometimes be picked up for around
€100, super little lens that everyone should have in their camera bag!

Ok thanks will look into that

I blurred it a bit with photoshop but you can still make out names of shops in background. In the first pic in link in my OP no words can be made out. Would this lens http://www.sammccauley.com/Product/Nikon-AFS-DX-MicroNikkor-40mm-f28G/21832/2231.10.0″ onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false; do it

Depends on what the widest aperture of the lens is & how far away from the subject (Minimum focusing distance of the lens) and how big the subject is.

At 55mm, the aperture can be set no wider than f/5.6. Min focus distance about 11 inches. Subject is as big as an adult human. i cannot get a blur background but i am a beginner. Slight blur yes but cannot get rid of the crap in the background like the neon signs across the road and the litter bins about ten feet away

That’s a fairly topical question considering the weather we’re having at the moment :lol:, I bought Op Tech Rainsleves off Barker Photography (Site Sponsor) and I used them during the recent storms to capture the waves smashing against our local coastline, lots of sea spray as well as the odd thunder shower. My camera and lens remain dry throughout except for front glass which I cleaned occasionally with a Lee Filters Lens & Filter Large Cleaning Cloth, also bought in Barker Photography. See links below.

OK thank you. Does it matter about the front glass of the lens, is a few drops there OK if cleaned of as you say.?
