For Get Pushed this week @mcsiegle challenged me to play around with some settings on my camera I haven't tried yet. I decided to switch my camera to "A" (aperture) and try a few things with a wide aperture. I've had this effect before with my automatic camera using the macro function. For these two images (29th and 30th) I used my kit lens at 55mm and set my f-stop around 5.6.
