Practicing Focal Points

This past week in my photography class we have been learning about focal points. Usually we focus on the object directly in the center when we take a picture, but sometimes we'll want to focus on an object that's off to one side. We learned how important it is to make sure that your object is as sharp as it can be. On my camera, you can change the focal point to the left or right and it will automatically focus on that object for you, and blur everything else. Didn't know this! I thought who better to practice this on but Max!! So I put him on the floor (yuck, dog hair!) and took some shots of him on his belly. Boy, did he do well being my model! :>) I am really learning a lot about my camera through this class and I hope that I can apply everything in the future. Ha!

These are a few of my favorites!
