Re: Bokeh with T4i

can you post a couple such pics?

chances are they have very different apertures or the same aperture but at very different distances.  a faster aperture keeps less of the distance in focus, a smaller one keeps more in focus.  i believe that to have everything in focus, you'd need an aperture of f/16 or a little better whereas an aperture of f/1.8 will only have a little bit of the pic in focus - it'll give much more bokeh, but if you shoot a face, for example, maybe only the nose will be in focus.
