I like shots when the subject is focused yet have a VERY blur background... HOw do you actually adjust the settings? While taking such shots...is it for days better?? And do you use the flash for such shots??
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
Reduce the f-value as indicated on your cam dsiplay, to the smallest possible given your DC or lens(for film-based cam users); in short the smaller the value, the blurrer is the background!Originally posted by siron

Hi,
Note: It is VERY HARD to get a good blur background if you are using a consumer digital camera (e.g. G1/2, F707, 99x, etc). This is because the inherent depth of field of such cameras is very high due to the small sensor and relatively 'wide' lenses used. So you can only maximize the effect by using the telephoto end of the zoom and as big an aperture as you can get.

Yup, zoom in all the way so the objects appear the largest.Originally posted by siron
Sorry but can you tell me what do you mean by using the telephoto end of the zoom ? Is it zoom to the fullest??
paiseh huh can you elaborate what you meant by using auto-levels to increase DOF? Me a bit puzzled.Originally posted by kamwai
For the above, i have to admit that i use PS auto level to increase the DOF a bit and to make the object look like poped out of the screen (similar effect of using slide?)
How you use PS to adjust DOF? Me very interested to know. Can disclose??Originally posted by kamwai
like this??

to my knowledge, auto-levels will only adjust the levels in the image. The difference in DOF may be just an optical illusion.Originally posted by kamwai

i think i show u the original photo without auto level then u will understand.....
