Some very nice uses of f/1.2 there!

The possibility of usage is always endless when you have an artistic imagination and execute that into reality in such a way others appreciate your work.

My problem is that I lack suitable artistic imagination. (This was often a handicap in club photography). I appreciate it in others, but most of my photos are really "sharp snapshots". Often action photos, but also studio work and landscapes where narrow depth of field is typically not necessary.
