Much beginners often ask, how to make the background blur when photo portrait? Actually how easy, and no less than three steps. Previously, you need a digital SLR camera, because has a large sensor DSLR camera and you can replace it with a telephoto lens. However, you can try using a compact camera even though the results are less than the maximum.
1. Set your zoom to the point of maximum
Example, if you have 18-55m lens, then set your lens to 55mm zoom. If you have a telephoto zoom lens, like a 55-250mm, this is better. Use of this lens and zoom lens set to 85mm to 135mm you. Focal range is ideal for portrait photos
2. Position your model as far as possible from the background
The farther the distance between the background model with the model than the distance to the camera, the background blur of the camera.
3. Set your lens aperture as large as possible
The larger the aperture the more blur the background, if you have 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens. So, set your aperture to f/5.6 (maximum aperture at this focal range of 55mm.
If you are not satisfied with the results of 18-55mm lens, I suggest to buy a 50mm f/1.8 or 85mm f/1.8. Although the lens can not zoom, but the maximum aperture is very large, making it more suitable for portrait photos
