January 24: Blurring the Foreground

I tried focusing on the Coffee Cup so the foreground and computer Screen were blurred.

My ride or die: Coffee, Bible and my iPad for digital planning-blurred the coffee cup.

This was a tough one for me. I do have a DSLR but don't use it regularly, and we haven't seen the sun here in weeks -- or so it seems so it was hard to get what I wanted to photograph to have enough light to use the f stop I wanted to blurr the foreground. I finally turned on every light in the sunroom and got this shot. Thanks for challenging and getting me to pull my DSLR out again.

It was so cold today, I didn't get off my front porch! It's not obvious, but the white column on the right is in the foreground.

I was so happy to find the rain had stopped and the sun had come out, when it came time to address this challenge... and as others have said, a challenge it was... I photographed the cat sleeping, my Grapefruit tree, other plants, the Limon tree, some moss with a wheelbarrow in the foreground and the creek... I used an iPhone and thought it would not be a problem, but yeah, it was... Tried some of the portrait settings... the concept of a blurry foreground was such that my mind would not focus on what that would take... Blurry backgrounds are no problem...

The day of this challenge, my daughter and I were eating lunch and I got the idea to shoot a photo of her through the chopsticks. Love the result!
