Spring Has Sprung!

I am SO excited that spring has FINALLY come! It was such a long, 

cold winter and for months I've dreamt of nothing but the sun on 

my face and new life springing from the ground. The hint of 

summer we had a few days ago prompted me to look through some of 

the photos I had taken last April – specifically flowers – and 

try my hand at editing – just fiddling around with color levels 

and what not. I also went outside this afternoon to capture the 

crocuses – the only flowers currently in bloom around here.




Last year's bleeding hearts



 Mums (from last year's "Flapper!" production!)



Today's crocuses!


I am trying – trying! – to refrain from wanting a different lens with a lower DOF. I looooove the look of bokeh in the background and just want more and more of it! However, that's not happening anytime soon and it would probably be better for me to understand my camera more before the excitement of a new lens distracts me from doing so.

Donuts!

This was when I made donuts for Ben....No idea how I got the dof different for each one, it kinda just happened I guess?? The only zoom on Mom's camera is the zoom-in/zoom-out button, I don't have an extra lens, so I don't know how to (or maybe I can't?) adjust what blurs in the photo.




I know for these next two, the background isn't all that great...



Whatever feedback you can think of is totally welcome and appreciated!!
