I upgraded my blog's infrastructure last week to Virtual Dedicated Servers from a shared server environment. I hope you have noticed and are enjoying the increased performance.

We were chatting a bit on using a shallow depth of field. I love the isolation I can get with my Noctilux... You can see his noise and chin are in focus but everything else is gradually thrown out of focus.
