Why do you shoot at the widest aperture you've got?

Why do you shoot at the widest aperture you've got?
Simple to pull your subject out of the background and limit the impact of unwanted foreground. This shot at f1.2 on the Olympus 45mm f1.2 prime is a classic example of how the subject just jumps out of the shot. I've included a near 100% crop to show that the important detail is retained. This is one of the main advantages of crop sensor over the "big boys" - you can use a much brighter lens but still get awesome depth of field. Are we learning yet?

Did you know that the D in DSLR stands for dinosaur? Put it away and get a modern mirrorless platform.
