January 2: Photography challenge {shallow depth of field}

Here's mine. Thank you, Farrah!



In spite of the Christmassy atmosphere, this is actually a photo taken on January 6th, when the Three Kings come to our house every year.

 

I had to use gaussian blur, because my PSE doesn't have Iris blur.
Here's mine:

Catching Up ----

 

My daughter was here the other night helping me take a shallow depth of field photo with my cell phone. The only thing we could find on the phone that sorta worked was the FOOD setting. If you touched your finger to the phone on the item you wanted to stay clear, everything else went blurry. It worked but I just wish my background was a bit more blurry.

Thanks for the challenge.

 

Here is mine

Finally got this one done.

 

my entry:
the photo of my youngest was taken in the portrait mode on my iphone. Any photos in my front yard always have a neighbor's house, so it is nice to blur it out a bit!

I probably cropped my photo too much but I use depth of field a LOT to hide my messy house!! >.<

 

Challenge photo is the with the single boat in front and the race trenches in the background.

 

I used the iris blur mode to get the effect since I could not figure out how to get my camera to do it

 

The photo with the shallow depth of field is on the right!
