This is what I mean...
Josh/Illinoisboy: you need to put the camera on macro setting (the little flower icon on your camera, if you have one). Once its on macro setting, find the angle, etc, that you wish to capture the subject with. Once you do that, depress the shutter button a little bit to get the camera to focus. If youre close enough to the subject (to capture a lot of detail), the background will be blurred, as macro setting is very shallow, only focusing on the close objects for detail. Does that help?

Just a quick, crappy snapshot of a wheatfield with an incoming storm behind it. Loved the golden sun on the golden wheat and the contrasting gray skies behind...

Steve-o as much as people from Illinois love Wisconsins beauty I have to say Illinois is just as magnificent. There is something about all of your images that show how Illinois is mile after magnificent mile. Great shots.

Thanks, Josh! I find the beauty in it, too. Some people do, some people dont. If they dont, its their loss!

I think Illinois is gorgeous, I just returned this past weekend from a visit to see my sister and husband in Mt. Carroll....near Savanna and just north of Clinton..very beautiful, lots of corn, trees, more corn, country roads, deer, what's not to like....

Chicago is one of my favorite cities, I love the sassiness! The L, the shops, the towers, the lakefront...very nice.

I'll have to post some pics I took last week...

Interesting shots. So you came here, took some pics of a flower, a thunderstorm, an abandoned boat and the lower half of some kind of metal structure/tower?
