A really basic question, but since I'm all new to photography, I don't know this.
I wanna buy my first DSLR and since I don't have much money to spend in the first moment, I am looking to buy the camera body only with a 50mm, 1.8 lens.
At first, my main objective is to achieve some cool looking pictures with the subject in sharp focus while I get some blur on the background.
But I am sure i will also want to take pictures with both subject and background in focus and some pictures with no subject, just the "landscape" or things further away.
I know for these, I should have other lenses, but it wouldnt be affordable right now.
So my question is, with the 50mm 1.8 lens, can I change the aperture setting, say make it f/11 or 22, so I get a deep depth of field, with everything in focus?
Or would I be stuck on the 1.8 setting that would never give me good focus on things far away?
Thanks.
