Challenge: Burst of Color IV (Advanced Editing VII)
Location: South San Francisco, CA, USA
Date: Jan 11, 2013
Aperture: 4.4
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/160
Date Uploaded: Jan 15, 2013

 This is a simple shot of a flower on a cloudy day. The only post-processing I did was to crop the original picture.

A good way to get the background blurred on my Panasonic FZ28 (long-zoom point-and-shoot) is to step back from the subject, and zoom all the way in.

This is my first submission to dpchallenge, and I realize it is very unsophisticated compared to other submissions I saw. I hope to get better at this as I take part in more challenges :)

Constantin, excellent technique employed with your very capable bridge camera. I am a firm believer in knowing your gear and making full use of it's available and remarkable (modern digital vs old film) capabilities.

Wonderful image of the flower, with perfect BG. It does POP.
