Shallow Depth of Field ( Macro )

Challenge #1 in the Point & Shoot Power series. Hosted by jcmarfilph.

Challenge has finished

P&S cameras are often limited with aperture control to achieve SDOF. So an alternative way especially in macro subject is to shoot in tele-macro mode. Make your macro subject stand-out and show that blurred or bokeh background.
