Before you think my boy is all mischief, I should tell you that he is one of the most well-behaved sweetest boys on the planet. Still, he is a three year old boy so on occasion, he gets in trouble.
Okay, onto why I’m here. Recently I read Me Ra Koh’s blog post on depth of field and when my boy was sitting on the stairs in time out, I thought it might be a nice chance to practice. My goal was to have something in the foreground that was blurred out with my subject being in clear focus. Here is what I got.
I like the way the banister is slightly blurred in the first four shots. The last shot is just cute so I had to include it. I cropped them all to a square photo which really made them look better than 4×6 or whatever.
I’m turning into quite a Me Ra Koh groupie! You can find the instruction blog here…

This morning I discovered another blog that I think I’m going to be falling in love with.

He has two posts in April about Depth of Field (Create Depth) and Showing Motion (Using Motion). They are both great inspirations. Also, if you visit his first post in April (Welcome to the new blog!) you can see a link to his old Blogger blog where he has some more history. I like his style a lot and I think he will be a great resource for me. I hope he is for you too!
