<p>Hello<br>
I am new to the forum... :)<br>
I have very recently (this week) upgraded my photography equipment..serious move for me. I had a Canon Rebel (100D) with a couple of lenses and moved up to the 6D and bought the Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 lens....(couldn't stretch another £900 to the Canon version!!) but did read great things about this lens and happy with it.<br>
Question on the Tamron lens (sorry if this isn't the right forum but couldn't find a specific lens section so figured this would be a start).<br>
No issue with the camera functions and smooth transition from one to the other. The lens, however, has a learning curve for me. I took some shots this morning of my daughter, just while she sat in the room, practising with the aperture, which I had set at 2.8....I felt like it was giving me just too much bokeh...I was focusing on her face but felt like there was just too much blur.<br>
It was on AF....I wondered if there were general rules of thumb with a lens of this type when you can get such a wide aperture....for example if I am doing an outdoor family shoot, when a wide aperture will be great, will I need to decrease the aperture somewhat....<br>
Any tips would be appreciated as never used a lens like this before...and sorry if these seems terribly obvious - thank you!<br>
