hi, i have a canon rebel xti and i've started using the sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 lens.
i've tried taking photos with a low fstop number to produce a shallow DOF. but it hasn't been working. the background is not blurred as i had hoped. i don't understand what's wrong.
here are some examples of the photos i took recently with their respective fstop and shutterspeeds
1) http://www.flickr.com/photos/rebeccathecurious/424669627/
f/3.5, 1/1600 sec
2) http://www.flickr.com/photos/rebeccathecurious/424636546/
f/3.5, 1/3200 sec
any ideas as to what i'm doing wrong would be appreciated. thanks!
