I have been madly snapping pics over the weekend, trying, in vain, mostly to get my head around the photographers threesome; F/stops,aperture & ISO. How they relate to each other & affect the way a picture turns out.
There were many opinions on different forums about it & some quite heated discussions-some interesting pictures & some, that to my untrained eye, just looked like a complete picture out of focus.
Hopefully I'll understand how the threesome works at some point in time, in relation to camera settings..... in the mean time I guess I can just set it on auto.
This reading also lead me to bokeh & discussions on this technique- I am way too much of a novice to have much of opinion or to even profess to even know what is or isn't acceptable 
as a bokeh example, but I do know what I like & what appeals to me.

So when is a blurred image, artistic & when is it just a blurred image, and probably should be given the delete button? Its all very subjective & very much in the eyes of the beholder.
I've trolled through many an album in my quest to find what constitutes a great picture or just a very
ordinary one-my pics, in the main, fall very short of fantastic shots and the vast majority should be given the delete button-but I do know I have to keep on practising to get any better, if I'm ever going to get a really great pic!

Oh, how I remember those days.
I've chased bees around the garden-boy are they quick! & found 
lots of bugs on lots of flowers-it's truly amazing what you see with a macro lens....so much more at another level that we pass every day. Even the minute centre of a geranium is quite amazing & barely 2mm in size!
