Yes--ALWAY...Congratulations on your new technique!!<br />Yes--ALWAYS shoot on the biggest (lowest) aperture possible for depth of field (as you know). I always need it on the biggest aperture for lighting too because I'm always shooting in low light. I hadn't thought about the macro/super macro though.<br />Well my quest for my DSLR is getting there a bit too slowly for me, but I'm using a friend's D200! until I get my new one. Which, I've been thoroughly enjoying :) I'll send you some photos! :)Jaynenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767752301461936070.post-34835477035363190412011-04-21T13:54:44.001+01:002011-04-21T13:54:44.001+01:00No prob!

Your camera isn't a compact so it can do a bit more than mine. I *always* shoot in manual though. One day when I shall have a camera with an adjustable aperture!Lisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767752301461936070.post-23887564690716907272011-04-21T11:41:42.571+01:002011-04-21T11:41:42.571+01:00Hi Lise!

Which, unfortunately, quite a number of cameras don't. But, try this! Put your camera in Manual, then set your aperture at your max (or lowest number: 3.5 or something) and then put it in macro (I find this is best for blurred backgrounds when one doesn't have an SLR!). Use trees/bushes with light streaming through for the best circle bokeh. Hope that helps?nzkiwigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00558469545189780362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767752301461936070.post-80180220238664375332011-04-21T03:42:37.021+01:002011-04-21T03:42:37.021+01:00How did you get your bokeh like that?

Your macro is great with another cool bokeh and I would love to have one of those red iconic telephone boxes in my portfolio...... is it still working?<br /><br />Seriously Jess you must pop over to my nature blog and see what I discovered last week while out for a stroll one evening. I've been told to keep their location a secret aswell. This is one thing you could go out hunting for down in England aswell just now<br /><br />http://leavesnbloom.blogspot.com/2011/04/morchella-esculenta-fungi-morel-of-this.htmlRosie Nixon Fluertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851979959739600135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767752301461936070.post-20233417190921738032011-04-20T09:57:16.995+01:002011-04-20T09:57:16.995+01:00Oh, Jess....how I wish I could be there!
