Hi guys, I am a new into photography. I am using Canon PowerShot A70 and I got it about a month and a half ago. Muz I say it's a good camera.
However, after looking at some of the members's photos (Clubsnaps and Hardwarezone), I am very impressed with the picture quality and technical level. What I wanna know from the gurus here is about technical questions.
Well, here's the newbie questions
Let's say I have an object (foreground) and large (wide?) scenery behind it (background). I just would like to make the object focused and sharp while the background is blurred, very blurred. I have to set the aperture stop/value to the lowest (say 2.8, which my camera can go to). Well, I have shot using that value and the background still very sharp. Hmmmm, what exactly should I do? I am very confused actually. hehe. Should I manually adjust the focus?
Here's another question.
What if I wanna make the foreground blur and background very sharp? example, my friend is in flower garden and she is in the middle but she is in between flowers. I would like to make the background sharp as I want her to become the object.
Hope my question can be answered. hehe. :sweat:
Thanks in advance :lovegrin:
PS. I have started another thread in another forum in clubsnap. please delete which is at the wrong place. thanks.
