rubber ducky, you're the one...

I have never really played with all the features on my camera until today.

My niece had been over recently (she's 18 months old) and so some of her toys were still out.
My cat, Monty, was lying on the floor near them, and when I lay on the floor next to him I saw this perfect photo opportunity.
I played around for about 20 minutes with my camera, seeing what effects I could get by changing each setting when I discover macro.
What a difference it makes!
I was able to have the duck in focus, whilst blurring the stacking toys in the background.
And yes, I am pleased.
Especially seeing as I have literally pulled this straight off my camera - no editing done at all!
