I’m still learning how to use my camera. Most of it is experimentation, I’ll admit. And that is no different with this week’s You Capture ‘assignment.’ I just played around with the camera until I kinda figured it out. Except for the first and last pics. They were taken last week. But still.
And most of these have a clear subject at the forefront and blurry background, except the last one. And it’s not necessarily a wonderful photo but I like that it’s opposite.
I have a giveaway going on for a $50 gift certificate for cute handbags. Just leave a comment to enter! 
Great job!!! I really need to play around with my camera more.

playing with the Fstops is my favorite thing on my camera…so much fun. Your pics are fantastic!
These are so cool, I need to figure out how to do this better myself.
Great job…my fave is the third one. I’m a sucker for green!
I like all of these, but I really think the last one is my favorite as far as DOF goes. Fun!
Great shots!!
Those are awesome! I love love love the toy and daughter one! Too freakin’ cute and the focus is so cool.
Great photos. I really really want a new camera. Love taking pics and I one point in my life I was pretty decent at it.
I like your photos, great DOF. The green one is my favorite. Great job and nice meeting you bij You Capture.
Nice pictures.
I like the green one quite a bit, but I think my favorite is the toy one
DOF can go either way and I love the last shot with the blurriness in the foreground!
These are great, and I think my fave pic is the last one. It emits the most emotion for me…like he is longing for the bike out there, even though he already has one.
These are so colorful. They also have a playfulness. I adore your captures.
Great job!
I love the color on that flower. Beautiful capture!
Good job on your DoF. I’ve been trying to learn more about my camera as well and can finally shoot fully manual and I love it!

It looks great. You did a good job
The flower shot is perfect I love the color. Whoever that little boy is (your son?) is a cutie pie!
Happy You Capture Thursday! Great job on all of your pictures.
Great job. Beautiful pics!!
That last picture is great! Probably my favorite, although all are pretty nice.
Your playing around worked.
My favorite is the last one of the run away trike.
I am most terrible at depth of field shots. They come out clear in the whole picture! Send hints!
The last one is my favorite.
Vey nice! For those who need some hints about dof, the lower the number on your f. stop on you camera, the blurrier the background. For example: f. 8 will not be blurry, f. 4.5 will be blurry, f. 1.8 will be really blurry.
great job, these are perfect!
I love your little engineer!
love these, great shots Elaine. And his hat is da bomb!
Cute shots!!
You did a great job!! Love them.
Those last two photos are great! I like how he’s looking at the 4 wheeler
Great shots, momma! He looks so grown up in the first one!
Great shots…I really like that last one!
Beautiful job! Love the one of the baby blocks and the cute chubby legs in the background.
I love them all. You shot great colors and interesting subjects. My favorite? The petunia? bloom.
the photo of the toys and your sweet baby really has great depth and loveliness. great job!
I was so happy when I figured out depth of field and by figure out I mean how to set the camera..not sure I have figured out how to use it yet.
Those are great shots and the last one is equally cool – blurred foreground! Good work Elaine!
I really like the last one too! It’s sort of wistful, no?
i like the trike the best just because it is a little different than the others – with the sharp object being farther away.
I love love love the purple foreground flower with the orange behind – very cool photo. Nice captures.
I wanted to tell you about The Happiness Project over at my Blog. It’s simple, every Tuesday you just post a photo of something that makes you wildly happy. It’s been so rewarding to meditate each week on what brings me happiness. I thought that I would invite you to join and link up to Mr. Linky. I am trying to take over the Blogosphere with happiness!
Here is a link to last weeks round uo if you want to check it out!
