Camera talk 101: How to get background blur in your photos



Wondering how to get beautiful, buttery smooth background blur or โ€œbokehโ€ in your photos?

there are three main ways to do this

โ€”โ€”


๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผlens choice

Get a telephoto lens- like a 55-250 or ideally a 70-200.

The more zoomed in you are to your subject, the more blur you have!

โ€”โ€”


๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸผDistance from background

Simply gave your subject move away from the background a significant amount.

Avoid just having them stand against the wall!

Look for leading lines, trees or interesting textures far off in the distance

โ€”-


๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸผAperture

Get your lens to open up as big as you can. Get a 50mm 1.8 and open it up all the way to 1.8 to get the biggest blur!
