 Another opportunistic one, again with all auto settings, this time shot from our conservatory during a sharp shower of rain. Was pleased to finally get some background blurring, which I've been meaning to practice. Post-processing was crop, auto white balance, USM (forgot to note values again :( ), enhance colours and scale.

I tried again a few minutes later with manual settings (ISO 100, and aperture priority and wide open) but either these or a change in lighting conditions meant I was getting some distracting reflections from the glass, so ended up going with this one.

I thought it just about qualified as the table was being weathered, but never mind :)

At least I managed to get the background blur -- just need to be able to replicate it when required, now...

A good capture, but not within topic

Nice capture but not weathered - even the wood looks new
