[star-dust]

wow some of these pics are amazing, nope, all of them are. you taleneted bunch!

Can i ask a couple questions?

I have a simple point and shoot digital compact camera, when i take pics they always seem blurred, took one of hubby the other day he was stood still as was I but it was blurred? any ideas?

secondly on readin if you want to blur out the back ground focus on the subject close up, i do that but the subject becomes blurred and the background is in focus?

any advie please?
thanks

glad you had a great time at the lecture, I would love to find something like this, to really get my teeth into

star-dust... hey

I reckon it must be the setting you have on.... you need anti-shake or something like that... have a play around...other than that not sure!

Dont know the answer to your second question but would like to know the answer

sorry im not much help

to have a blurred background or forground it's all about DOF (depth of field) there's some really useful links on google if you want to read up on it!

What camera do you have? It's all about depth of field. Most models have a macro (little flower symbol) or portrait mode. That's the mode I used on my Samsung L830 to get the subject in focus and the background blurry like this:

[leedsforever]

arrr thats what that symbol is for?!?

and if you want to go one deeper you can play around with depth of field by setting it to aperture priority where it's all about the amount of light let in the lense.

It's either on the wrong setting (macro/normal/landscape etc) or you've been a bit shaky when you took it hun

The focusing in on one part (making background/foreground blurry) you need a camera where you can change the aperture setting.

The lecture sounds fab!
star-dust I had a similar problem a couple of years back with my point and shoot - all my photos were blurry, it turned out to be a fault with the lens - has the camera been dropped or anything recently? Did you used to get sharp images ok?

Some of my recent favourites
