ortega said:Portrait mode should do
oTaRu said:i've tried using the portrait mode... even though it's gd to use... but dont have much DOF as i wanted... cos i see some photos on dpreview... i wanna try out the effect but fail to do so... maybe need some time to pratice or maybe there are some tricks that i dont no...
ortega said:just in case the michhy is right
subject in the light and background in the shade (less detail)
and soften the image with filter (not blur)

hmm... where can i get it?user12343 said:there's a section on scott kelby's book on Photoshop Elements 3 that teaches u how to create some shallow DOF.... rather easy to create the effect.
pRoLoS3r said:Hihi.... i got a question regarding about the filter you mention ... what are type of filter you are refering to??? and it applies to pNs camera?
Thanks for advise . forgive me for asking quite a stupid question .
