I learned the phrase "creative exposures" by Bryan Peterson, author of Understanding Exposure. Here are a couple of shots that showcase the different creative exposures one can get by varying, in particular, the f-stop (aperture) and focal length. Basically, the higher the aperature (lower f-stop #) the more shallow the depth of field and vice versa.
These shots actually do not differ greatly in aperature value, but the big difference is in focal length. Compare the bokeh of both shots as a result. I took these shots today while I was out shooting for the current DPS assignment -- "10 minutes from home". Details on this assignment tomorrow, along with my submission.

Jocelyn,
I saw a comment of yours in DPS and it stuck out because we have the same name and same spelling. It also appears we have the same beliefs. I am def. going to bookmark your blog. I have been doing photography for a few years now, but recently receiving more business. I do not have CS3 to edit photos with, but Aperture for Mac, and I just ordered a step by step guide that explains how to create layers in the editing process so I am looking forward to using that to give my photos that pop. Looking forward to more posts from you.
Don't you love how simple adjustments render different photos? I love the comparisons you posted!
I'm bookmarking you... Like Zia, it seems we have similar beliefs and we homeschool as well. Looking forward to "meeting" you more!
I cannot stand how the higher aperture is the lower f-stop. That makes NO SENSE. I am going to start some kind of revolution- FOR LOGICAL F-STOPS! Alright, enough spamming....
Good shots! I think that your second one was all bokeh. NO! NO! BLURRY! NOT BOKEH! CALL IT WHAT IT IS! Aipe....
I like the line of the picture it looks great.
