    was looking through some pictures and i thought to myself that when shooting a small tank (60cm) and below... wouldn't using a shallow depth of field make the tank look so much deeper?? maybe something like f3??or 3.5??

    Interesting prespective. However, the actual effect is not quite what you have in mind. At best, if your control of the depth of field is superb, you can blur out the 1 cm just before the back wall.

    Why don't you try it and show us?

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    Actually, if all you want is DOF effect, why not consider using the toy train effect? Do a search in CS, I remember someone mentioning steps to editing the picture using Photoshop.

    There's a DOF Calculator which may be of help.

    A telephoto and wide angle lens both at same aperture would give different results at the same distance, right?
