Depth of field not working?

I have a Nikon D7000 paired up with a Nikkor 50mm 1.4 lens and I was finally ready to tackle understanding the dept of field but it doesn't seem to work? Is it the lens that doesn't really show the full effect?
Added (1). I can't show you samples if i don't really know what im supposed to be looking for. I guess that's what i'm also wondering, what am i looking for?
I only asked this question because i did read that depending on what your focusing on can make it come out differently.

Confused between Nikon D5200 and Sony SLT A58?

Hello everyone,
I'm a beginner in photography and looking for a nice entry level camera. I am very technical so I did plenty of research on internet about DSLR cameras and initially finalized D5200 by Nikon but I also like the Sony STL A58.

I like in A58:-
1. Can be charged via any USB power supply
2. I like the flip out screen of A58
3. Inbuilt stabilization and AF motor (not required to buy techie lens like of nikon AF/VR)

Since I've no experience in photography the following points are confusing me:-
1. A58 is 10% lesser in image quality than D5200
2. Its 20mp approx so 20% lesser in resolution than D5200(I can accept it if the overall output is as good as of Nikon D5200.)
3. Low light performance is not good as of D5200 (around 40% of difference) but its still better than entry level Canon.

Please help me with this, I can only accept if A58 if the image quality is approximately or similar to D5200, the other feature of A58 attracting me with its cheaper price

Thanks

TT560 Speedlight flash and Nikon D3000?

I have a Nikon D3000 that I pride myself on being fairly knowledgeable about, until now. I ordered a kit off of amazon that included a Neewer TT560 Speedlite flash.In the simplest of terms, how do I get the flash to fire when I press the shutter button on my camera? There isn't anything connected to the flash, other than where it is connected to my D3000. Help please!

Future Career in as a Lens Designer?

I am obsessed with the world of photography. That's why I am hoping to work as a lens designer in one of the major companies like Nikon or Zeiss. I know that I must enter a faculty of Engineering, but I don't know which part of it (eg mechatronics, or technology, etc) so can you enlighten me a bit? thanks in advance.

Which lens should I look at purchasing?

I have the Nikon D90, with the 18-105mm F/3.5-5.6 lens.
Now that I've learned how to shoot in manual mode, I'm looking to get a lens that's better with shallow depth of field, as well as a macro or maybe a filter for macro?
I see a lot of lenses with a small f stop number, but they're not zoom lenses as far as I can tell, and since that's what I am used to, I'm a little confused at how it's going to work.
So. Which lens for dop would be best?
Which lens for macro? Or should I just get a filter?
And if it's not a zoom lens, what do I need to know?
Added (1). I need the macro because I like taking close ups of flowers and such.
The lens for shallow dop is for portraits.
