dcg0317 you take the most amazing pictures!!!!

I've noticed this too.
thanks dcg for posting.

I've also noticed that dcg's framing technique adds a lot to the already fantastic photo. Every picture dcg posts has a similar frame and it works.
Note to self: start framing like dcg does.

and a technical question:

How do you achieve the blurred foreground effect in the Moon photo above?

is it a focusing technique? set the focus to infinity and anything closer will blur?
or is it done with aperture settings and depth of field?

See, I understand that setting the aperture low (f.2 on my camera) should isolate the subject and blur the distant background. But how do you reverse that to blur the foreground?

Thank you, glad you like my photo's.
Now about your question, yes on that shot it all has to do with the distant at which I focus on, the moon, so being set to infinity most of everything in the foreground will be out of focus.
There are a lot of different ways to achieve this though when shooting objects closer and what lens and aperture you are using, and what part of the shot you focus on. Here are a couple links that will give you a better idea on the subject.
