If you'll remember from THIS POST, John gave me his really, really, really nice Nikon D70 and I have finally figured out how to do the partial blurry photography thing. I have since learned the official term for this is called "bokeh". (Thanks for this, blogging commentators!)
Anywho, thought I'd share some of the fun I've had...
A door in my dad's backyard...
New ivy...
A wind chime balance...
A hinge in my dad's back yard...
A wrought iron arch...
Thanks for listening!

Beautiful pics. My Dad is a professional photographer, and he just bought a new camera! And guess who gets his old one??? I am so excited. I have no idea how to use it, so if you want to give some lessons, I am allllll ears! I love the wrought iron one! Beautiful!
you have a great eye! seems like you are really getting familiar with the camera-soon it will feel like an extension of your own hand-just part of you. the pioneer woman has an excellent photography section on her blog-she gives all kinds of tutorials. some months back she even had a bokeh contest. i included her link for the shallow depth of field. keep shooting!

SMC, thank you so much for that link. I am loving looking over it!
What a great way to breathe a creative life into everyday things. Love the pics.
These shots are beautiful! I love the first and the third shots so much. It's almost like they should be framed and on the wall. Welcome to the world of photography. I think you may have the bug!!! :)

Jessica, thank you so much. Your praise means a lot because you are an AWESOME photographer! I have you on my blog roll now!
Great pics! I got a camera for my birthday in Dec. from my hubby and still haven't figured it all out. Very creative!
Jen, when your able to take pictures of the twins and purposefully have the food smeared on their clothing be the blurry part of the picture - you'll know you've conquored this undertaking!!! :-}
Take good notes! There will be many a mom wanting to know that secret ;-b
Wonderful pictures! I love love love the one of the doorknob...so pretty.
