The easiest way is to keep the background as far as possible, the foreground as close as possible and the focal length as close as possible. What you need to do is to construct a good picture, and shoot at the nearest limit distance that can make the subject clear, so as to achieve the blur effect. When you master it skillfully, you can change the shooting distance and the final effect through experience.

If shooting with the lens of 18- 135mm, turn the lens to the end of 135, open the aperture to the maximum, shoot as close as possible, and press the shutter.

2, choose a large aperture lens to shoot, realize the background blur effect:

You can also cut the composition to achieve a suitable effect.

Q: I like taking pictures of people (babies), still life or scenery. What lens do you choose?

A: Take the entry-level Canon SLR as an example. If you plan only one lens, you can choose EF-EF-S18-55 ISTM lens group, which is the most economical combination to meet the daily life shooting records.

If you want to shoot portraits, still lives and landscapes better, you can use a fixed-focus lens in addition to the zoom lens, because the fixed-focus lens has a larger aperture and can get more light when shooting indoors. However, to learn to control the aperture size, if shooting outdoors, you can also consider using the 18- 105mm zoom lens, which will have greater flexibility in framing and composition. It is recommended to choose two shots according to different scenes during the trip.

1, the compact EF 40mm f/2.8 STM cookie head is the best fixed-focus combination for portable computers, suitable for shooting food, still life, people and pets, and the large aperture is easy to blur.
