January 2: Photography challenge {shallow depth of field}

MOC 7 Day 2 Photography Shallow DOF WEB by wendyjc posted Jan 5, 2019 at 8:07 PM

I just love a blurry background! I didn't use my DSLR camera but in my iPhone there is a setting within the portrait options that is called contour and that blurs your background for you to create that shallow DOF. Works almost as good as my DSLR! Thanks for this challenge. It is my favorite so far!!!

 

Here is mine.

 

I probably picked the wrong photo, but it was the one I thought would benefit the most from the challenge! Thanks - it was fun!

 

Thanks for this challenge. I discovered how to have a blur effect with photoshop. I took a photo of my living room.

 

Here's mine, using my phone "sdof" option for the photo.

 

This was a tricky challenge for me. Loved playing around (frustration aside, lol) I took lots of different pictures to pick from and this one was my best attempt at the challenge. I do like the look but would love to try some more with my son or topics I would normally scrap about.

 

Here's my layout for this challenge...and it WAS a challenge for me to get that picture to record the depth of field I was happy with! Thanks for stretching me on this one!

 

Thanks for a great challenge. I love the Portrait Mode on my iphone

 

There really is a shallow DOF here. If you look at each of the dog's outer eyes & the lampshade, they are blurry. It's just hard to tell with everything so light-colored in the photo.

 

I love taking those photos. I took one in my kitchen today before start cooking...

 

I used iris blur.

 

shocker this was done with camera.
