I got it!

So I've been following a fantastic blog that is teaching me about photography.  I have been trying to do this exercise for a few days but I finally had a chance to do it while Nikolas was napping.

Here's my DOF exercise - I got it! Toby is my model today.

My first picture I used a f4.5, 1/25 shutter and manually focused on Toby.  Toby is in focus.  The ottoman and the items behind Toby aren't.

So, then Toby decided to look at me!  :)  This time I used a f16, 1/2 shutter (tried to stay steady).  This time the other things are focused too!

This is SO cool!!  I love that I'm learning!  I know it's not the BEST example - but it DID work!  YAY!
