Fast lens/shallow depth of field and careful background composition. The background is a couple of out-of-focus sheep standing behind the subject. Lambs are tricky—like a lot of youngsters, they’re on the move constantly! Shooting them is often a matter of patiently waiting for an opportunity.
For the tech heads: None of the images on this blog have any artificial/digital tilt-shift effects (or any focusing effects) applied. Everything appears as it was shot (with the exception of cropping, exposure and color modifications, and some film-type effects, such as the introduction of film grain in some instances).

This is so beautiful. how did you manage that focus and that zooming background?
Thanks, Jenna! That lamb looks like trouble.

impressive stuff, I had no idea you could do all that manual jim-trickery with a digital camera.
