>>3898406No,anon, where did I say dof was the only way to create subject isolation.
You're a moron, not completely illiterate, stop playing up for the internet.
Dof is a tool, just like colour.
And when colour photography was new there was many people just like you that said it had no artistic merit, those people came off looking like fucking idiots.
Do you think that colour is the "most important part of your photo"? Do you think colour is a crutch that "real" photographers would never use?
F1 on aps-c is f1.4 on FF; the difference is that you can actually get decent quality f1.4 lenses at every focal length from 24mm to 85mm cheaply. A half decent F1 or faster crop lens doesn't come in under $1k, rarely has autofocus (despite a razor thin dof), and is usually just some ling ling CCTV lens with a speedbooster element, hence why they look as shit as op's photo.
