I'm a very novice photographer, but I'm doing my best to learn new tips and tricks so I can start taking amazing photos. I have a Canon PowerShot S5 IS camera. Here's the specs on it: http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=144&modelid=15207

I would really love to take a picture that has this effect: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/179/485750280_a143e73c8b.jpg?v=0

Where the image in the photo fades the further you get away. I've been going through my camera book and tinkering and I just can't get there!

Does anyone have any advice on what I need to do? Any help is greatly appreciated! :)
 
You want to set your aperture low and focus on what you want clear. Putting your camera in AV mode would probably be the easiest way to do this.

Also, if you ever want to know the settings that are used on a photo that you find on flickr, look on the bottom rightish of the page, under "additional information".
If the name of the camera is listed, right underneath should be a link that says "More Properties". That will give you the aperture and exposure used in the photo.

Good luck :)
