Depth of field is the range of distance where, in the finished photo, things will appear sharp and in focus. Parts of the photo that are outside the depth of field will appear blurry. The narrower your depth of field, the more blurry your background will appear. Click it Up a Notch has a great, easy to understand article about it here, that explains it much more thoroughly than I have if you want to read more.
The result of the disagreeable winter weather is lots of photos of things in and around my house. This is likely for the best, though. From day to day and room to room, my house offers any number of lighting situations. Add to that the multitude of stuff sitting around, and different techniques I want to master, and the opportunities for practice are endless.
My father got me these nesting dolls years ago. We attended a concert at a nearby college, given by a singing group from the Ukraine. They had various items for sale in the lobby of the concert hall, including these handmade dolls. These days, they sit on a shelf in my dining room with lots of other tchotchkes, and they're one of my favorite things (cue music).
