Now that I am down to one class, I can concentrate on Shimelle's class. Our 6th assignment was to add a title to a photograph. Since I photograph mainly flowers (those with no grandchildren know all about this!) here is my photograph of a hydrangea.
Our next assignment (prompt 7) is to take a photograph with a blurred background. Now I never thought my Canon point and shoot could do this. I always thought you needed a camera with depth of field capability. No so, as Shimelle pointed out. All you have to do is turn on macro mode (that's the one with a little flower symbol), press the shutter button down half-way to focus, and then click it down all the way. I took lots of photos in my chiropractor's garden this morning and think this one is my favorite. Notice the tiny rose bud in the left hand side of the background? It's blurred, but the one up front is nice and sharp. Oh, happy day!

These have worked really well,Lizzie....and your hydrangea looks very happy....ours are looking extremely stressed by the heat.
I have a grandchild due in September...so no doubt will be constantly photographing then!
Very pretty flowers Lizzie! Great work from a point and shoot as well! Abi xx
