Welcome to Day 169:) Today we are going to be taking a look at Shallow Depth of Field. Shallow depth of field for anybody that doesn't understand ... simply means one part of the photo will be in focus and the rest will be blurry. There are several ways to accomplish this .. you can get the subject as close to the camera as possible...or you can make sure the subject is pretty far away from anything in the background.. or you can use a large aperture (smaller f/stop number) .. or you can use a longer focal length. Either of these will result in a shallow depth of field.
Here are a few examples to get us started .. I look forward to seeing what y'all come up with.

Y'all have to forgive me this is one of my favorite subjects so I have too many examples LOL

I have no idea what this guy is but he posed so pretty for me :)
