Any of the photography enthusiasts here have a photo stream on Flickr?

Feeding time seems to be late evening after PeeBee eats. I need to start using aperture priority and broaden my depth of field on some group shots.

Nothing wrong with what you're doing now. Blurred background enhances the subject by keeping the eye focused where the image is sharp. Beautiful family portrait!

I like the blurred backgrounds for portraits like this but PeeBee is just a bit out of focus compared to the kittens, who I was focusing on. A couple stops tighter and she would have been in focus as well with the background still blurry. I tend to run in program mode for speed, both shutter speed and not having to make any changes. If I find the right aperture for this distance and set up A mode for it then a quick two clicks on the mode switch gets me ready to go.

I'm not able to enlarge it enough to find anything objectionable. If you choose a smaller aperture, you may invoke camera shake.

Not to detract from JohnRippert's pics of Peebee & family (after all, I'm primarily a cat person) but my visit to the local building supply store this morning was plesantly enhanced by this splendid beastie; what my gf would call a "big poople-schnoople bear"
Plus, tomorrow (Aug.26) is International Dog Day.
