I think I got It!!

Awwww....your first Bokeh....so cute!!:biggrin:

But seriously it's these accomplishments along the way that help fuel the desire and keep us from getting overly frustrated. Good job.....keep up the great work!!

So what do you guys farm???

 

Cute Shot!
What kind of camera and lense are you using? Waayy too many times I've wanted to run mine over a few times in the drivway ... LOL,.. but we press on.
If you can, take the same shot, (any shot) and change the f stop on each, low ## i.e. f2.8 or f 1.8 will give you that nice blurry bokeh. hi ### will give you everything from close to far in focus like in a long landscapeshot i.e. f 22. Compare the shots to see the narrowing or growing "Depth of Field" to increase or decrease your bokeh.
Keep 'em coming. Kids are GREAT !!

 

Sarah,
Here's another example. Shot at f2 very narrow Depth of Field, about 1" I'd say. Just the Watch face is in focus. At f5-6 the entire pic would be in focus.

 

Sarah I too would be interested in seeing the exif data from this photo.:smile: Nice image BTW. how about some produce photos.

 

Sarah, your little "superman" is so cute. It's a great feeling when you discover something like that, isn't it? I read a book by Bryan Peterson called "Understanding Exposure" that helped me a lot with how the aperature and shutter speeds affect your photo. If you haven't seen it, you might find it helpful.

Keep shooting! I'm finding the more you learn, the more fun it is.

 

I'll second Sharon on that wonderful book - it's excellent and is an easy read.

Great capture, love the hat. Where in Ontario are you located?

 

Grand Bend is a great place, and yes, plenty of tourists in the area in the summer. I was hoping you were east of Toronto as I'm still looking for a great all-in-one veggie farm on my way to the lake in the Kawarthas. Nothing beats fresh Ontario produce! Thanks for farming the land - I do appreciate it.

 

Something I hadn't enjoyed since I was a kid: field tomato sandwiches, coarsely ground black pepper, mayonnaise - mmmmm mmmmm - lived on those all last summer out in the kayak!

I always support 'home industries' as much as I can. Farming is not easy! Besides, the tomatoes in the stores right now are like little orange baseballs - hard as rocks and no taste. Looking forward to yours!
