My first shot. I was trying to figure out depth of filed to make the background blur out. I think I got it but I don’t think there is enough range in this lens to really tell.
Olympus Evolt-410/Olympus Lens 14-42mm 3.5-5.6 / aperture priority / f/5.6 / 100 iso / 42.0 mm
I can see the dof here. Great job!
I think it looks pretty good, gives a sort of reference. The only thing is his face is a bit dark. That is not a difficult fix post processing though. Welcome to the POTD, looking forward to getting to know you.
Hi, and welcome!! You’ll get a lot of good comments and information from POTD. This is a good start, on my monitor it looks a little dark but I tend to have that problem. I love the expression on his face!
I think you definitely got a little BG blur. Nice job!
Cute facial expression too
Good shot, to blur the background you would need a lower aperture. I noticed with my kit lens its harder to blur the background. HTH!!
Nice job—there is definite blurring in the background! A different lens might give you even better results–there’s something for the wishlist, right? LOL
Welcome to the POTD!
You definitely got some blur; welcome!
Welcome to POTD! Look forward to seeing more posts from you….
Love playing with DOF too…..Anything at 5.6 or lower should blur the background nicely….:0
leah
You did get some blur! You’d probably have better luck standing farther away from your subject, or opening up the aperture.
Glad you started. Hope we learn alot together.
Cute shot…looks like a sweet boy!

Great expression with the hat! I can’t believe you have GREEN where you live! I think your photo has nice bokah in it!
