Creating Depth - Week 3 of my Photography Class

This past week in my photography class was a lot of fun.  We focused on creating depth in our photos.  Basically what we did was place something in front of the object that we wanted to focus on to give a blur to the foreground of our picture.  Here's some pictures that will probably better describe what I mean.  (The trick was to be fairly close to the object in front that you didn't want in focus.  Then set your focal points on your main object).  It was a lot of fun to try a new perspective.
