New cam: First attempts in macro photography

[Russian Blue]

I know I still have to learn a lot. The background's supposed to look more blurry, and I should avoid using the flash.

But isn't it fun to learn on a new camera? Congrats on the purchase!

Kirsten try adjusting your aperture settings or use the aperature priority mode on the camera. Reduce it between 2-3 and you should have a nicely blurred background. In the picture below I used an aperature setting of 3.2 and exposure time: 0.0040 s (1/250).
