This is a nice picture that I took during the day. After taking this picture, I learned the power of the telephoto lens. It taught me how to capture the natural red color of the flower, as well as the natural green color of the stems. The focus was set at f/5.6, and the ISO was set at 800.
Quick compilation of 3 shots testing what effect focal point has on DoF at f/1.4... I love how sharp the grass on the far right is...

This is my orange plumeria I got from my home state, Hawaii. I like this depth of field shot because the color of the flower catches the viewer's attention immediately. Also, the shadow on the petals gives it a dramatic 3D look. Then, the blurry leaves stand as the divider or separator between the orange focal point and yellow background. Without the leaves, the color combination of orange on yellow will be too much.
Now that I've owned a D-SLR for a while, I thought it was time to start learning the basics using different depths of fields.

This example of depth of field where the focused leaves in the front appear sharp, the leaves behind it appear slightly blurred, and the buildings in the far back are the most blurred.

I chose to take this image focusing on the green leaf, showing how the technique can be used to bring it out of a background that's mostly green itself.

I had SO much fun discovering my camera this week I literally sat on the couch and went through every exposure value, ISO setting, photo style, contrast, sharpness, saturation level in every combination and zoom and moving forward and backwards I practiced on my foot I had about 120 pictures of my foot in all sorts of light and focus it was fun and I really feel like I got to know my camera we are becoming close friends although I have much more to learn.
I chose this macro photo to show depth of field I focused in on the center of the flower. I also took this right after the rain so the added water droplets made it look special.
This was taken after dark on 10/07/2011 with only the overhead porch light for a light source.
Shutter speed: 1/23 sec.
Aperture: F/3.1
Focal length: 5mm
ISO: 6400
I was having a hard time with shallow depth of field for some reason, so it took me all week... that's why it was done after dark! LOL
I was demonstrating depth of field to a buddy of mine, and got this shot. I
really like the colors and feel of the photo, so I decided to upload it.
This is a portrait of my sister! In this picture, she was standing about 4 feet away from me. I chose an appropriate aperture that focused on her face, but blurred everything else in the background.
the packed snow in the yard is so deep we have three wide terraced stairs down into the verandah now ....

I posted this picture to show my experiments with depth of field. Here a wine bottle is blurry while the background to the right is in focus.
