This week’s photo challenge has definitely been a challenge as I haven’t been able to conveniently find a photo in my archive to meet the challenge.
The idea behind the challenge is the Rule of Thirds which means that you put the subject of your photo in one-third of the frame. It is then suggested that you go a step further and try to achieve bokeh. Bokeh is the blurred area around your subject in the photograph, if you follow the link you can see some examples which demonstrate what they mean.
I don’t think I have quite met the challenge as well as I would have liked. I tried several times to blur out the background but it is beyond me and probably means I need to fiddle with my camera controls which just makes my head hurt a bit like fractions when I was at school. As soon as someone starts to explain apertures and shutters speeds to me it is like tumble weed is rolling past.

For my gardening mad readers the iris is Iris Cantab
