FOCUS

 

 January 2 Capture Your 365 photo prompt is One Word. How perfect as that fits with the One Little Word class I'm taking. 

I used my Christmas Tree to create a Bokeh photo. I set my camera in Aperture Mode and set the aperture to the lowest setting I could. I held an item at arm's length and "forced" my camera to focus on it. I then took the picture so the lights and tree is blurry. To get my handwriting on the photo I used my Galaxy Samsung S5 note taking feature to write the word "focus" which I uploaded to my computer then cropped. I found a video on YouTube by Visual Broccoli called "Removing a Background in PhotoShop Elements" that taught how to remove a background in a photo and make it transparent. After I did that I placed my word on the Bakeh photo and saved. Took a little time to get the way I wanted the photo to look but I think turned out great. Makes the statement I wanted.
