Why Zooming With Your Feet = A LIE
An idea about not shooting everything on shallow depth of field. So why the bokeh is amazing, but also why you don't need to shoot everything with a shallow depth of field and the importance of visual cues comes in here too.
With a 12–24mm zoom lens, it’s the 12–16mm focal range. With 18–55mm, 18–70mm, 17–35mm, or 20–35mm lenses, you’ll only call on the 17–18mm range.
