Who is up for a challenge???

I want to start doing weekly challenges for those that want to participate but i have to say.....in order for me to continue having challenges we have to have participation :) Our first challenge is going to be easier than others....in otherwords we are starting out small and moving to the big guns lol.  

This weeks challenge is to take a portrait of someone (dad, mom, bro, sis, child, hubby, neighbor, whatever lol) and post it.  What i want everyone to look for is how they can get that blur (or bokeh) behind the subject.  Remember to have your apertures set to approx. 2.0-3.5 or as low as your lens will allow and focus near the eyes of your subject.   Good luck everyone!!! yay!

Also for those interested there is a giveaway on my blog for a really cool camera strap, just leave a comment and the winner will be drawn Monday.  They rock, they have padding and a lens cap holder yay!!!! So stop on over www.marissavargasonphotography.com/blog and enter to win!
