don, a lower f-stop will help create a blurred background, as with that rose pic i took in the first page of this thread.

) has the rebel xt iirc...
well this is how you set the shutter speed and aperature value on the xt:
1) set the main top dial to M
2) the little wheel near the shutter will be used to set the shutter speed and aperature values. look at the LCD (or inside the viewfinder) as you turn the dial and you can see the shutter speed go up and down.
3) for aperature setting, press and hold down the Av+/- button on the back (top right iirc, near the LCD display), then turn the tiny wheel. again on the LCD you will see different aperature settings when you do this.
haven't messed with the xt for awhile, but pretty sure that's how you set it...

How is that 50 f1.4?

yeah my backpack is almost done too, still need a few things here and there.

Also since he is trying to show the radio, so only having the first 1/8-1/4 of it sharp isn't going to do much good
