Bokeh: a photography term referring to a part of an image being fuzzy or out of focus. It is used to refer to the effect of shallow depth of field that creates a pleasing blur of color behind the subject. The type of lens and the depth of field play a large part in determining how out of focus the area is and whether or not it creates a pleasing effect in the image.
I'm finally taking some pictures (153 in the past two hours, but who's counting?). It's really fun. And I'm playing with all the settings, but I'll be honest I have no idea which settings I used from one picture to the next. Some of them turned out really nicely, and others, not so much. So next I need to start playing with purpose: taking a variety of pictures with certain settings so that I can review what is and isn't working (ISO settings, white balance settings, aperture and shutter speed and all the things I don't even know to be reviewing yet!
But for today, I'm enjoying the beautiful bokeh that is so easy to get with this camera, and the crispness of the portion of the images that I focused on. And the fact that I am getting amazing shots without needing to use any flash--loving the natural light.
And now it's time to go play some more. And maybe eat something.

Oooo those are pretty. Please come take pictures of us. :)
The clarity of these photographs is awesome - you are learning quickly; now I'm unhappy with our camera.
