Photography for Scrapbookers | 7 Ways to Create Depth of Field

Head on over to Submarines and Sewing Machines with Gemma, to learn 7 ways you can create depth of field in your photos. Depth of field refers to how much of your photo is in focus.

You know those lovely portraits with a creamy, blurry background? Gemma will show a variety of ways to play with this, both in camera and with photo editing, so you can create blurry backgrounds, where only your main subject is in focus. Some of her tips are applicable to phone and compact cameras too, so everyone can play around with this effect.

Great photos make a big difference to your scrapbooking pages, being able to take photos that suit your layout style or scrapbook will save you hours of scrapbooking work.

Camino used the new Booville collection from Pinkfresh Studio to create a Spook-tacular Interactive Mini Scrapbook Album project. The cover of her album is acetate decorated with a chalkboard inspired label and lots of pretty flowers along with some tiny enamel gems. The white base of the album measures 6″ x 5″ with fussy cut spider webs on the corners, some pumpkins and stitched hanging spiders on the spine and back. It also ties closed with black tulle.

She continues using this wonderful collection created by Paige Taylor Evans using pattern papers, puffy and cardstock stickers, rub-ons and chipboard and enamel shapes, all in soft pastel colors, to decorate the pages. Some of which have delightful interactive elements like shakers behind layers of tulle, flaps and pockets and even a stand up easel.

Find directions and lots more photos over on the Pinkfresh Studio blog.
