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.

Niella used the Color Me Crafty collection from Doodlebug to create this adorable crafty themed mini album. The cover and each page are shaped like giant tickets and there’s a disc binding on the edges and fun dangling charm hanging on the spine. The cover has a cute stack of Polaroids accent and a layered scalloped border with button pattern paper.

Inside she used more crafty pattern papers, embellishments, stickers, cardstock, puffy words and more to designs wonderful pages that have lots of room for crafty photos and journaling.

There’s even a pocket to tuck in mementos and ephemera. I love the color scheme of this collection, it’s so bright and cheerful! This little album project is perfect for all your memories of going to scrapbooking classes, crops, conventions, retreats, hanging out crafting with friends or pics of your craft room.

Visit the Doodlebug blog to learn more about this project and watch a flip through video.
