Nice shot! What lens are you using? I find that i get the best dof with my 50mm and especially when i am shooting something ( like a flower) close up...you can get good dof with other lenses of course but i do enjoy the 50mm alot! Is your camera capable of changing out lenses?
@ellimae I used my 55 lens. I do have other lenses but tend to use the 55 most of the time. I have been experimenting with the aperture settings this week for one of the weekly challenges. I've never adjusted the aperture before until now. Thanks for the comment Ellen.
@dmdfday Well that is great! It will make all the difference in the world for your photograhy! Practice , Practice , Practice ...is what i was told!! :)
Looks like you have a great start toward a shallow DOF. The wood is in nice focus and the trees in the background are out of focus. To get even more shallow, use a low number F-stop, zoom in, and get close to the subject.
