For me, photography isn't about seeing the world as it is and trying to create an exact replica of "natural"[If I wanted that, I wouldn't edit my photos]--It's about making what the world is, appear as it should be in my own eyes.

Nice ^ Did you get a new camera? What ISO did you take those pics at?

No I still have the same P&S I am probably going to get a XS/1000D sometime after Christmas. The 1st and 3rd where taken with ISO 100 and the 2nd I had it on ISO200. It's pretty noisy even on the lower ISO which sucks, especially in the parts that are out of focus the noise really shows. I sometimes try to take out some of the grain with some post processing but that just results in loosing a lot of quality in the photo. Some times I end up blurring the background with PS which will usually cover up a good bit of the grain and make it less noticeable, but I didn't do that on those.

Don't you have some sort of aperture priority mode on your P&S? If so, use that instead of blurring with Photoshop.

Even at the lowest apertures you're going to have a hard time getting a blurred background with a P&S.

Nah I don't have anything like that. I have Auto, Manual, Program, DIS, Portrait, and Scene. I mostley just use Manual and Program.

Yea it's hard to get a blurred background with a P&S.

Besides, most cheap P&S don't have an AP mode.

Well if it has a portrait mode it may blur it enough as long as the subject is far enough away from the background.

I haven't looked at them lately, but I seem to remember my Canon Powershot camera did.

Can you set the aperture in manual mode?
 
Yeah the PowerShot series are amazing! But I think he mentioned at some point that his P&S falls in the sub $50, that's the kind of P&S I meant lol
