Focus


It just so happens I have been trying out a little bokeh since the holidays. I'm just using my Olympus point and shoot so it's been a little tricky, but it's fun getting a satisfying shot now and then. My camera has a "blur background" setting that never worked for me. When my son David, a photographer, came home for the holidays he gave me a few pointers. Thanks David!













And thanks Tracy!
Ciao! for now!

  1. Lovely pics. I am struggling right now with the picture quality on my blog. I have a hard time getting really clear shots and sometimes my colors are off. Great job.

  3. The photos are great! Sometimes I achieved better bokeh with my point and shoot than with my new fancy schmancy camera. Any tips from David you would care to share? lol.

  7. I love this effect and still don't quite know how to achieve it...something to do with F stops probably...it would probably help for me to read the directions that came with my camera. Very pretty all.(-:

  9. Lovely! I have been playing with this, too...using a low aperture number with a zoom lens. The portrait setting on my camera also works for this, too. Any hints?
