Pinecones

This photo was also taken in my home in late 2020, similar to the photo from the previous post. I like this photo because it really focuses on the details of the pinecone. I wish aromas could be transferred digitally because boy did these pinecones smell good!

Composition:

The focus of this photo is on the first pinecone to the left; the background is very slightly blurred. To take photos focusing on one subject with the background blurred, adjust the aperture of the camera. Usually, the aperture is represented either by an "A" or an "AV". Aperture is measured using f-stops. Use the lowest f-stop to get the most focus on your subject. Additional to this, check the distance between the lens of the camera and the subject. For best results in blurred backgrounds, keep the lens of the camera closer to the subject. Getting too close to the subject could make it distorted.
