#1, try bigger f.stop that will decrease the DOF so that you can blur out the BG but keep subject in focus - especially the eyes portion. But of course, avoid anything that's below f11.
#2, use lower ISO. I believe the grainy effects come from high ISO. All I can think of. Keep shooting to improve. |
