I love this last photo. How do you achieve the blurred background. Is that done in the camera settings or with photoshop.
I was discussing this blog with a friend in the U.S. He's quite a good photographer and photoshopper. He really liked the shot of Gioele last week of the German policeman checking the bicycle but thought it should be cropped and the background blurred, either through aperture or photoshop. I asked him to show me what he meant and he redid the photo. If Gioele comes on later I'll ask him if he'd like me to post it here.
P.S. I don't know if Gioele is a man or a woman.

Hey, Grandma Moses started late!
