Regarding the blur, it'...Meg, love the colors. Regarding the blur, it's a depth of field issue, which is controlled by your aperture - f stop - setting. The lower the f stop, the less depth of field or focal zone area. I like using a low f stop, because you get blurring in front/behind where you focus. Your bottom photo is the best example of that. If you lined up your fabrics horizontally, you would have blur front back, but your fabric would be in focus, with softness on the edges. Email me if you have any questions...I worked as a professional photographer for a while, so I do know my way around a camera!Patty Benner Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372413438098671696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889544407512544014.post-44383768848680264402012-10-27T22:39:05.482-07:002012-10-27T22:39:05.482-07:00Just my sewing desk by a window!!

You just need to increase your aperture (to like 3.5 would help) to reduce the blur, and then bump up the ISO or decrease shutter speed (or just increase your exposure compensation) to balance it out! holly | bijou lovelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06857113437419125133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889544407512544014.post-52868828097298095252012-10-23T05:39:28.468-07:002012-10-23T05:39:28.468-07:00Very pretty colors and shapes!

Last night I took my first in-the-house pics, with tungsten light, no flash--and I can actually see the colors well! That's a victory for me!randi--i have to sayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12515933483396408936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889544407512544014.post-84022863917828033172012-10-23T00:49:49.332-07:002012-10-23T00:49:49.332-07:00Oh!

Your pictures,...I think your blocks looks fabulous. Your pictures, look like they are in focus in the center, with the periphery blur, which I think is a settings issue, not just the aperture which brings in more or less exposure.

Did you shoot your patchwork in a light box? I really like the background whatever you did. :-)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18034084071411439315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889544407512544014.post-20912938654203475272012-10-22T17:20:06.128-07:002012-10-22T17:20:06.128-07:00Yes, you need to your aperture number to be higher...Yes, you need to your aperture number to be higher for less blur. It looks like you were probably set at 2.2-ish? If you change the aperture to 3.5 of so it should help, just make sure you increase your ISO or decrease your shutter speed to compensate for the difference. But I think they look great!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13070256593329215707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889544407512544014.post-28086079864617151982012-10-22T16:02:14.034-07:002012-10-22T16:02:14.034-07:00these look fabulous! these look fabulous!

And I love over-exposing photos, too!<br /><br />Thanks for linking up. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471641245888346516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889544407512544014.post-58826116681197106392012-10-22T15:34:18.541-07:002012-10-22T15:34:18.541-07:00Don't you love the Canon 50mm??

The colour combos are just delicious and I like the blurry look.<br /><br />I am not experienced by any means but I wonder what your exposure compensation was advising? On my camera ( Olympus E520) it comes up as a grid line ranging from -3 to +3 with the other numbers in between. The ideal is to hit around 0:0 so just wondering if this particular facet was out of balance?<br /><br />Either way I still love the shot and the quilting!<br /><br />San Sandra Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260644073051470011noreply@blogger.com
