I've had to empty an entire kitchen cupboard for all my vases and cups. I'm afraid the next step will be adding a room on to the house! Have a wonderful weekend. xo – gGeorgiannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02298718026210625558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-45517007584870486542010-06-26T07:48:09.148-04:002010-06-26T07:48:09.148-04:00Thanks, everyone!
Diane,

That means that you may be able to change the aperture on your camera. (Read your manual! I know, I hate to do that, too.) Aperture is the size of the opening that lets light into the camera. The smallest aperture number will help create the shallow depth of field ("that focus thing") that you are looking for.<br /><br />3. Choose a spot where your background will be as far away as possible from the subject. Use your optical zoom to zoom in as closely as possible. This may help.<br /><br />Good luck! Keep experimenting. :)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11799729997229744515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-85813180101647727022010-06-26T02:33:24.842-04:002010-06-26T02:33:24.842-04:00First off - your daughter is beautiful!!!

(I know - wrong post) And congratulations to her! <br /><br />Then, might you have a minute to tell me, is it possible to do that focus thing you do (you know where just the one thing is in focus, while everything else is out of focus) with a point and shoot camera? I have tried and tried to do that, but it never seems to work consistently! Might you share any ideas/suggestions?<br /><br />Have a great day,<br /><br />Hugs from Michigan - DianeDiane Fay (littlealma)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02825847496677271674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-43937736413633281022010-06-25T17:18:54.280-04:002010-06-25T17:18:54.280-04:00It's the tray that I adore Mary!...It's the tray that I adore Mary!...GailOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556665956317683667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-34729077189164896542010-06-24T23:23:26.210-04:002010-06-24T23:23:26.210-04:00My Momma always said "dont worry about what y...My Momma always said "dont worry about what you'll do with it.

Or fill it with potpourri in the bed/bathrooms and take the lid off when you want to release the scent. In the kitchen it works great this way for when you are cooking fish ;ORobertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16493412205283777117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884914321755768425.post-60672158371854237252010-06-22T18:49:47.303-04:002010-06-22T18:49:47.303-04:00I can send you my address.
