Blur Challenge

  You may have read some of my other posts where I mention challenges.  Well, this is another post where I will show you my choice to fulfill the challenge of Blurry that Katrina gave me.  I actually shot this about 2 weeks ago when I got my new Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 lens but I hadn't gotten around to posting up the picture(s).  This was the first shoot with the lens to try it out!  I must say that I love it!  I have waited a very long time for this kind of lens and have researched them to death.  I was patient and finally came across a great deal [financing :) ] and I just couldn't let it pass by.  So not only will you see my choice for the Blurry challenge, but I have added a second picture which was my favorite non-blurred shot of the day.  Hope you enjoy these.

Loved this shot - composition and just the feel of it.  A lone duck, pondering...

Challenge

So Katrina saw this great picture of a bride's face in partial focus and wanted to see if I could take a picture similar to or the same as the one she saw. Here is the result in two forms and let me just say that she was quite impressed that I was able to learn this and pull it off in just 10 minutes.
