So F8 or F11 will not get you the soft blurred look that you want. The more you close your aperture, the deeper the focus goes and the less of a soft blurred look you’ll get.

F1.8, F2, F2.8 … all of those f-stops will get you a shallow depth of field. You achieve a shallow depth of field when you use a wide open aperture – or f-stop. What everyone is really talking about is a blurred background due to a SHALLOW DEPTH OF FIELD. Different lenses have different qualities of bokeh. Bokeh is about the quality of the out of focus areas in the background of your photos, not the out of focus-ness itself. I am seeing a lot of people on lots of blogs throwing around the word “bokeh” without a true understanding of it. Just a couple of pointers from a professional photographer. Hope this was helpful! All us photographers were there once! : ) (Because let’s face it, no matter how much you love bokeh you want a focused subject even more!) You just may need to back your subject up from the background a bit more. Don’t worry you can still achieve your bokeh and focus. So on that lens it’s more like f2.2 to f4. They are typically sharpest at two stops up. In addition, prime lenses are not their sharpest wide open. This is where learning about depth of field will be so helpful to you. You have such a shallow depth of field it’s easy to miss. You got the bokeh you wanted but the focus is blah. The focus is picking up on the wood in front of the R and actually focusing on it instead of the R. Lastly, you may want to check your autofocus a bit because the pictures above of the “R” are out of focus. There is a lot more to it and you’ll really enjoy learning about what it takes to create that look your going for.

Google “depth of field” to get a better understanding of how to achieve the bokeh you want.

You shouldn’t experience noise until you reach really, really high iso levels. However it also means less light getting into your camera. Faster shutter speeds will help you focus on moving targets much, much better. However, YOU should be able to bump your ISO up a lot more with a T3i and thus also be able to bump up your shutter speed, too. If you are forced to 1/20 you should…1) use a tripod 2) If you don’t have a tripod use the camera timer and a stack of books. It’s almost impossible to hand hold a camera at anything slower than 1/60. I wanted to let you know about a couple things that might help you out. 😉įor more camera tutorials click HERE and look under the “Photography” heading.

I took pictures with it anywhere from 1/8 – 1/20, but I never went above 1/20. You will probably need to play with your shutter speed to get it to turn out. And they could be clearer, but I’m a newbie. Lame were approximately 5 feet in front of the tree…give her take a foot.

I never did get around to testing out the “ Make your own Holiday Card” tutorial by my friend Amy. The oh-so-extremely-popular bokeh look is all over Pinterest these days and you know I couldn’t help but give it a try too.

It sounds funny to say that I was playing with my Christmas tree, yea? Ok, unimportant. I finally had the time to play with my Christmas tree.
