^^ Ohk! But i'm not able to change exposure in Manual mode.
All that we can change in M mode is TV,AV and Iso

Exposure depends on Tv, Av and ISO

Are you able to blur the background while shooting people / focusing on larger subjects ?

A little, have to zoom in from far behind, and it doesn't come out right, come on, I said it was a joke didn't I?

I don't even have a dslr, I genuinely wanted to know if you can with that camera.
I've been able to get pretty good background blurs with one of the presets in the sony HX series (not mine), but I think that camera does some kind of processing, not sure though.

Now since you said 'have to zoom in', I have a question. Usually as you zoom in, the aperture decreases on most p&s cams. How does that gets a better background defocus since a higher aperture is needed to achieve that. Anyone knows how that works ?

Its the increase in focal length that helps the blur in this particular case as far as I know.

Read on: How to use aperture for creating shallow depth of field
The newly released FZ200 has constant F2.8throughout entire range(upto 600mm), which will allow you to take very good background blurred photos.

 

[Gen.Libeb]

Focal Length, I guess thats the answer, a longer lens with a higher aperture. Thanks to Pranav0091 & tkin for that link.

Couple of attempts with shallow dof.

^^Sorry but unfortunately you are making the whole pic blurry.Only a small part of the string is in focus that too is hard to notice.Try to keep some more parts in focus otherwise try to keep maximum part of the strings in focus.

prabhu.wali nice shot!

I know its not that good but still.

@CyberKID - nice flower, do u use any kind of fertilizer for that? or is it a breed like that?
@quan chi - 600mm focal length? which camera u use? the moon is yelloish, did u did in in postprocessing or is it in camera effect? nice click BTW.

Thank You!

 

[CyberKID]

Thanks, @ Anirbandd, lm2k.
@ lm2k, I don't use any synthetic/chemical fertilizer, just plain organic vermi-compost. I've come to understand that a small pot is too less space to use any chemical fertilizers. Actually, the variety is that way, which gives giant flowers. Photos of one more variety I'm having.

@ Faun: that Classic Vibe Stratocaster '50s looking stunning. BTW, is that your own profile on Flickr? If so, I saw your site. Nice and clean presentation of the contents. Well done. One thing I'd like to add. Do, put some text describing the images in your site, or atleast put some creative title for those images.

@CyberKID - nice flower, i have seen many types of roses but not many were this large.
