How to shoot out-of-focus photography

To take this completely out-of-focus photo, it is best to have a certain light source in the background, especially a point light source, so as to form a beautiful spot in the background. Street lamps, neon lights, car lights and so on are all very common point light sources. In addition, it can also be taken in a strong light environment, for example, the light passing through the leaves can also take this out-of-focus photo.

Just shoot in aperture priority mode, and then shoot in medium aperture. The aperture size can be adjusted according to the required spot effect. If you want a bigger spot, you can increase the aperture.

The most direct and effective method is to change the focus mode to manual focus, and then twist the focus ring until the whole picture is out of focus or blurred.

You can also find a small object in front of the camera, then focus on the small object, half press the shutter to lock the focus, and then re-compose the whole picture to lose focus.

If you shoot with a mobile phone, you should shoot in a professional camera mode and then manually adjust the focal length. But the effect may not be so good, after all, there is no such big aperture.
