I took a picture of a dandelion, I'm pleased with the blurry background, I've been reading a book on photography and this was a bit of an experiment in depth of field.

More plants
I thought the carrots I had planted a few weeks ago were going to be a complete disaster as no seedlings appeared, but I've discovered they have actually started growing now! There are lots of green sprouty bits in a line. I think I might have put too many seeds too close together though as it looks a bit crowded.

Ahh, nice. Springy and green.
Hehe thanks!
Great! I never could manage the depth bit!
Thanks! I know what you mean, it is a tad confusing.
Don't worry about the overcrowding in your carrot row, as its supposed to look like that. As the sprouts grow, you can thin the row out by evenly pulling out plants. Eat the mini carrots as you pull them (they're very nutritious) and then the others will have room to grow to full size.
I like your blog,

At first I thought the picture was referring to carrots!!
Thanks Eileen! I'll remember that. Mmm mini carrots.
Catpee - Hehe.
Hullo Biscuits, nice to see you're still blogging away (mine's sort of on hiatus). Depth of field in analogue photography is achieved by opening up the lens, ie short focus. How do you do it in digital?budrose1
Hello Dave!
It's pretty much the same as using an analogue camera, I read a book all about it haha.
The main difference is that equivalent f numbers are different on digital, eg f2.8 on a digital is equivalent to f11 on a film camera. (I think this applies to fixed lens digital cameras, obviously if you can change the lens size it will make a difference).
Anyway, this means everything tends to be in focus when you take pictures normally and its practically impossible to get less depth of field, unless you use macro mode like I did with that picture above and then you can get that blurry effect.
