Ah, so that’s what ‘bokeh’ means: thank you, Cherie! Love the pic focusing on the (?miniature) Masquerade. Great series of photos – as ever!

I loved the sound of the word Bokeh when I found it on Flickr some time ago, it makes me smile.

Thank you so much

Y’know – I’ve never really read what the definition of bokeh is. Thanks for the education..and for sharing. And – I love the soft colors in this image. Beautiful garden!!!

You can try for the effect on the auto setting too if you select the macro option. It works to an extent with my camera.

Thanks Cherie,
I knew a bit about ‘depth of field’ from my days with the manual Pentax, but I didn’t know that I have control of the F number on my digital. The problem is, this camera didn’t come with a manual – just a CD/DVD. I think it is 82 pages long and lurks somewhere on my hard-drive. I can’t bare the thought of printing it all out, but I suppose I shall have to read up on it one day. All my pics are done using ‘auto’.
Thanks for your offer of help.

Thank You Claudia

I keep looking at it and although I like the levels of light I just want to do something with the top left hand corner. But if I do that it changes some of the other elements in the picture which would make the picture unbalanced…

I think there is a lesson for me to learn in there somewhere. I am enjoying the challenge

It is quite amazing that you would be trying to take that picture just as I posted mine!

I don’t know what options your camera has, but to get that effect I chose the Av option on the dial which then shows an F number at the bottom of the screen which I set to the lowest number and then I clicked the macro option.

That is just very brief without getting technical about it. Feel free to ask more questions
