  1. I didn’t know this. Thanks for the information – should make a nice trip in cool country. And many thanks for the presentation and writing it all up. You put a lot of work into it and I learned a lot – I had two blogs started within an hour of getting home, thanks to you. 🙂

    Hi Jenn,

    The background is the result of using a very long lens and somewhat large aperture. The higher the quality of lens, the prettier the background can become. The effect is called the “bokeh”. Here’s a link to what that’s all about.http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/bokeh.htm

    By the way, a ground squirrel munched on your Trichocereus today! I better get that to you soon 🙂

  3. Correction: Bokeh was not demonstrated in the background of the Owl photo. Bokeh specifically refers to the shape that specular highlights take on in out of focus areas. Christmas lights, for instance, become circles or hexegons in out of focus areas. The shape is determined by the quality of the lens.

    The background in the Owl Photo is a result of using a wide aperture with an SLR. This effect is tough to achieve with a compact camera because it doesn’t have a high range of f/stops.
