The colours are so perfect, seemingly giving a slightly vintage feel. I love how each blossom is in different stages of flowering. Absolutely beautiful.

Wow.
Did you edit this in photoshop or something to make the background more blurry or did it come out that blurry in the original?

Nah, blur wasn't done by me, just took the photo with a relatively high aperature.
The flowers you can see in the background were far away though, like 3-4 metres or something.
Thanks tho

It's a hole in the lens which controls how much light comes into the camera and hits the sensor, and the shutter speed is how long the shutter is open for.
Shutter = measured in seconds or fractions of a second (30 seconds -> 1/8000 second)
Aperature/F number = doubles the ammount of light as you ascend (F/5.0 is double as much light as F/6.0), (F/2 or F/3 is lots of light, and F/22 is a really small ammount of light). Also, the higher the F stop (F/2 - F/4) the bigger the Depth of Field (used for macro & close up photography); smaller F stops means there's more in focus (used in landscapes etc)
Hopefully that was helpful

Did you learn this in class?
Am I going to have to memorise this next year?

I learnt it like last year when I bought my DSLR, but yeah we will be learning it this year in photography when you learn how to use a camera and all that.
